" pappa, My stocking is full of spam!"
Well, if it was normal bad you would have coal. Just what the heck
did you 'do' anyway???
Apologies guys, I didn't consider it spamming - just some info on
getting 20% off for those of you that are interested in visiting.
Interesting analysis. What *would* you consider spam?
well... possibly getting all your email addresses and sending to you
all directly using a mass mailer... ?
Just for exercise, I looked up the definition of SPAM. Most included
"newsgroups" or "USENET" in their description. Here's my personal favorite
from
http://www.unitedyellowpages.com/int...rminology.html :
----------
Spam (or Spamming)
An inappropriate attempt to use a mailing list, or USENET or other networked
communications facility as if it was a broadcast medium (which it is not) by
sending the same [sales pitch] message to a large number of people who
didn't ask for it. The term probably comes from a famous Monty Python skit
which featured the word spam repeated over and over. The term may also have
come from someone's low opinion of the food product with the same name,
which is generally perceived as a generic content-free waste of resources.
(SpamŽ is a registered trademark of Hormel Corporation, for its processed
meat product.)

So, yes, you were spamming. C'mon - admit it! Confession is good for the
soul. After that, you can make a New Year's resolution to never do it again.
