In fact, I don't believe I've ever heard junk mail that comes by
snail referred to as spam.
Is it necessary to be so pedantic?
I understood that Jameson was drawing an analogy. You may not agree
that it's a valid one, but please. I've actually heard people use
that terminology with junk paper mail. I don't, and it's not common,
but that's hardly the issue.
Sigh,

false. snail mail spam exists despite having significant costs associated
with sending it.
