The problem is, trying to define a term that is already in use with many
different meanings, often subjective. For most, this is just redefining
the term with a different meaning. It's somehow the same problem that
GNU has with "free". In that case, someone just decided to define a new
term (open source), which spread quickly and is now much better
understood. Not that I'm suggesting to define a new term for spam, since
the term is already too widespread (and MRDW is horrible :), just to say
that the problem may have no solution.

Marketing may be considered a natural fact of
life, if regarded as the commercial facet of Darwinian evolution.

Well, everything that is "Darwinian" is subject to competition and,
eventually, to extinction :) Extinction is not just a consequence of
more competitive species, but also of changes in the environment :)
Hopefully
