If we use Alan's definition and you go back to the original e-mail. The link in the e-mail is to an unsolicited commercial e-mail/website. Therefore, I have to assume that Alan agrees that this is SPAM even though he seems to be in a state of denial!!! Thank you Alan for that clarification. -----Original Message----- From: alan [mailto:alan@private] Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2003 2:48 AM To: Farrimond, Ronald - KN-7 Cc: 'Crispin Cowan'; Alesha R.

No. Some people have mutated the term spam to mean "Any e-mail I personally disaprove of". The actual meaning of spam (other than the lunch "meat") is unsolicited commercial e-mail. If you subscribed to this list, this thread is not spam. On a related note... It was my assumption that the people on this list were computer literate security and law enforcement people. I seem to have been very mistaken. Could it be that sales and management types have joined the list as a prestige thing and not to share any actual information? But then again, my opinions of Sales and Marketing mirror those of the late Bill Hicks...
