Well, Hugh, you got me thinking, and I tracked down your
definition to
the American Heritage Dictionary. So it seems I will have
to withdraw
my first recommendation and use "spam" even for a
single unwanted email,
and even though it's not trying to sell anything or convert
anybody to
anything. I always thought of spam as _bulk_ mailing for
the purpose
of solicitation. But so be it. From here on, I will always
call a
spade a spade.
There is something a bit surreal about this thread being
immortalized
for posterity under the heading "Who is Lisa
Schnepf?" Sounds like the
title for a psychological thriller. I hope the real Lisa
has a sense of
humor and is giggling over the whole thing.
John
