I think I'm missing something here...just what is the meaning of the word
'spam' as applied to e-mail stuff?  (And I don't need the Monty Python

What Monty Python sketch?

NANI ???

Oh boy what temptation ...

Shall I ?

Dare  I ?

Oh sodit, here goes nothing ...

Scene in transport cafe, driver has just asked what's on the menu ...

"There's ...
  Spam egg and chips
  Spam egg chips and beans
  Spam bacon egg and chips
  Spam sausage egg and chips
  Spam with Spam egg chips and beans
  Spam Spam egg and Spam
  Spam with spam spam egg and spam
  Spam spam spam and spam with spam"

  etc ....

And then a bunch of vikings (in the cafe) begin singing the spam song ...

"Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam
 WONDERFUL SPAM
 Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam
 WONDERFUL SPAM"

"Shutup! BLOODY Vikings"

done entirely from memory (*very* faulty at the best of times :-)

Does that clarify it for you ?

And do you want spam with your Spam spam spam and spam with spam ? :-)
