        The term "Spam" allegedly refers to the way that a certain 
canned meat product allegedly looks, when it is thrown against a 
wall.  This is an experiment which I have not personally conducted.  

        In popular Internet usage, the term "Spam" refers to any 
message that is cross-posted to numerous newsgroups, or one which 
is not relevant to those newsgroups where it is posted.  It also 
sometimes refers to any post of a commercial nature.  

        As a couple of previous posts in this thread have already 
mentioned, there is also a great song about Spam by Monty Python.
