SPAM

   The original argument against spam was that it would 
choke off the Internet's bandwidth.  The UCE originally 
defined spam as 'machine processed'.
    Automated emailing could quickly consume internet 
bandwidth, while individual entries, of email address, 
hand typed could not.  If a person searched the 
internet for applicable emails, typed them into their 
email address bar, one at at time, they could 
ultimately enter hundreds in a day, max.  At that rate 
emails could not choke off the internet.  However, 
automated processes, that could glean and duplicate 
lists of millions of emails, repeatedly sent out for 
multiple customers could.
    Marketing is the most important aspect of any 
company.  The highest paid profession is sales, because 
it's the hardest job to do and the most important.  
You won't have jobs if the goods or services are not 
sold.
    The internet had the opportunity to streamline the 
process.  Making marketing more efficient would sell 
more products and create more jobs.  Instead, the 
public, in their panic, started calling all unsolicited 
emails 'spam'.  Large organizations and companies that 
created their own list of blacklisted domain names 
started circumventing the UCE's recommendation and 
blocked domain names via their own board of decision 
makers.  You'll often hear the threat of 'SPAM' when an 
angry consumer receives one unsolicited email.
     How may emails in a spam?  Should spam consist of 
machine processed, automated emails or can a single 
email be a spam?
