No, Thomas, it's you who's wrong on both counts. SPAM is both a food,
beloved in some societies, and it can be flooding Newsgroups with rants,
garbage, missions, etc. as well as advertising in Mail or News.


While you may not like rants, rants ARE not spam. If you don't like
rants, consider ammending a group charter if you don't like it ... or
use your filters and killfiles appropriately. But redifining SPAM to
suite your needs is crazy.

You've changed the meaning of what John McWilliams wrote. He did not say that
rants were spam, as you have claimed. What he did say is "it can be flooding
Newsgroups with rants, garbage, missions, etc. as well as advertising in Mail or
News." Clearly, the relevant phrase is 'flooding newsgroups', and just as
clearly, he is right. Using the term 'spam' to describe 'unsolicited commercial
email' is relatively new, and doesn't negate the far longer usage of the term.

So the question arises - are you a careless reader or a dishonest correspondent?
In other words, did you deliberately misquote him, or do you simply have trouble
understanding clearly written English?
