What the hell is spam?

-Most commonly defined as the sending of unsolicited bulk email and often times as forms of commercial emails.
-A message is Spam only if it is both Unsolicited and Bulk.
-An electronic message is "SPAM" IF:

1. the recipient's personal identity and context are irrelevant because the message is equally applicable to many other potential recipients;
 AND
2. The recipient has not verifiably granted deliberate, explicit, and still-revocable permission for it to be sent.

-SPAM exists beyond electronic mailboxes.
