Actually the term spam was coined after a bot that went bad, Dick
Depew's ARMM bot that ran amok on comp.news.admin. Ten years ago
to the month as Brad will probably remind us.
if spammers were only spamming once very six months i doubt the ASRG
would exist, i doubt the term SPAM would exist.
I doubt that we would have companies prepared to pay very large sums
to be rid of spam if the frequency was that low.
My employer pays $50 a month for a RIM papger to make email access
more convenient. Usefull though the RIM is, I would much rather have
no spam anywhere if I had to choose.
