    Spam is unsolicited e-mail, often of a commercial nature, sent indiscriminately to multiple mailing lists, individuals, or newsgroups; junk e-mail.

    Would double posting be considered spam? It's not intentional but the effects are very annoying. I've lobbied EoFF to institute a very simple 5-10 second spam limit to prevent double posts, but apparently they don't listen to me no matter how coherently I speak.

    If MAPS was any good it would be in the archive. MAPS was no good because it was only four people posting back and forth, double, triple, etc, posting.

    Good spam is hard to come by and there hasn't been any good spam for a long time. A spam reform must be undertaken. Word Association, 1001 Reasons Why..., and others just don't work anymore.

    Yams, could you give us some examples of good spam? I really would like to know what differentiates good spam from word salad, 1000 reasons, and random picposts.

    But that's why it was so good! Three people, 20 pages. 8-) With the somewhat help of others! BUT STILL!

    ... And the fact that you hate us, JUST ADMIT IT YAMEKNOOWK! YOU HATE US!

    Why does it matter how many people are posting in a thread? I've seen numerous posts where only three people are coversing in a respectable manner.

    And I've seen good spam posts made by one person. So?

    The best spamming would be if we typed every single persons name backwards
