Wrong (again,) Dutch Boy. "Spam" defined is unwanted, unsolicited
email or Usenet articles which are designed to sell items or schemes
for a commercial purpose. What my responses are is called "spam
copping." Get a clue.

No need for big words when you can't back them up. Spam has, per
definition, nothing to do with commercial intent or purpose. Only
with the flooding of unwanted or unsolicited articles, messages or
other misuse of communication. Which may or may not be commercial.

Be sure to check out the Monty Python part as well, as this is the
origin of the word spam in this context.
