Spammeriffic!

Yeah, but it is sorta on topic and I didn't feel like going through the whole deletion/banning process so I let it slide figuring it would just drop off the page eventually... But you guys keep bumping it... :roll:


...Oh crap I just did it too... ;)

Well, you see, the spammer gets luck every time someone comments because the thread get BUMPED to the top of the topic list.

....so don't reply to a spam thread. The mods hate it.

Thanks for the edumacation. I will surely not post on this thread again...

spam? how did it become spam anyway? I have often wondered that. how did pointless messages become named after a canned psudo-food?

Good question. According to Wikipedia Monty Python is to blame...

Wikipedia said:
The term spam is derived from the Monty Python SPAM sketch (see video in External Links), set in a cafe where nearly every item on the menu includes SPAM luncheon meat. As the server recites the SPAM-filled menu, a chorus of Viking patrons drowns out all conversations with a song repeating "SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM... lovely SPAM, wonderful SPAM", hence "SPAMming" the dialogue. The excessive amount of SPAM mentioned in the sketch is a reference to British rationing during World War II. SPAM was one of the few foods that were widely available...[more]
