>Does anyone really know why we call junkmail "SPAM" ?
It comes from the days when "spam" was on Usenet, and started interfering
with the normal flow of messages. It would start off that you'd see just
one spam, then you'd start seeing a few more, until finally some newsgroups
were just flooded with it. The term "spam" came from a Monty Python sketch
that was something like a restaurant or store that was mentioning what they
offered, and it went the same way ("item1, item2, item3, spam, item4,
item5, spam, spam, item6, spam, item7, spam, spam, spam..."
