SPAM is the scourge of the Internet and costs all of us many millions in lost
money!
SPAM (also referred to as Unsolicited Bulk E-mail, Mass E-mail, Junk E-mail
or Unsolicited Commercial E-mail (UCE)) is the scourge of the Internet and costs
all of us indirectly many millions in lost money (not to mention the lost time
and energy spent downloading and reading/deleting them). In short SPAM is a
message that advertises goods or services in the following situations: Off-topic
or excessively multi-posted messages posted to Newsgroups, Message Boards or
any other sort of Forum, unless such posts are expressly allowed by the owners.
Also...
· E-mail sent to people you do not know
· E-mail sent to people you know, but who aren't expecting a solicitation
from you
· Messaging systems such as ICQ or AOL Instant Messenger or solicitations
posted to chat rooms
It is impossible to calculate the time & energy spent downloading and reading/deleting
SPAM
Any offline activity that, while not considered SPAM, are similar in nature
including distributing flyers or leaflets on Private Property or where prohibited
by applicable Rules, Regulations or Laws
