Although there are various definitions of what constitutes SPAM, and people can further broaden that definition if they wish, however, a commonality of just about all definitions is "Unsolicited Bulk Messages" as in the following definition from WikiPedia; "Spam is the use of electronic messaging systems (including most broadcast media, digital delivery systems) to send unsolicited bulk messages indiscriminately."
Accordingly, IMHO I don't think Barbara's request for clarification should be labeled as SPAM. Agreed, the question had been asked, and succinctly answered by Ron Ferguson. Obviously, Barbara was still having problem's, so she asked a perfectly legitimate question. So what's the big deal?

I have already answered this query, and I now see that you have had more or less the same answer from someone else.
