	History of spamming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The earliest documented spam was sent in 1978, by Gary Thuerk.
		Spamming began becoming a major problem at the same time that the Internet began its exponential mainstream expansion in 1993 (also known as Eternal September).
		The term spam is widely believed to have derived from the SPAM sketch of the BBC television comedy series "Monty Python's Flying Circus".

	Spam (electronic) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Spamming in an internet forum is when a user posts a message that is off-topic, has little relevance to the subject being discussed, or is a post that fails to contribute to the thread.
		Spam is frequently used to advertise scams, such as diploma mills, advance fee fraud, pyramid schemes, stock pump-and-dump schemes, and phishing.
		Spam is prevalent on the Internet because the transaction cost of electronic communications is radically less than any alternate form of communication, far outweighing the current potential losses, as seen by the amount of spam currently in existence.

		Newsgroup spam is a type of spamming where the target of the spamming are Usenet newsgroups.
		Spam is frequently used to advertise scams, such as the well-known advance fee fraud and password phishing.

		Although spam is merely an extension of mass communications through the ages, some have argued that spam is different because the costs, unlike with traditional methods, are borne disproportionately by the recipient and not by the sender.
		Spam is analogous to junk fax advertising, which also requires the recipient to carry the brunt of the cost.
		The excessive amount of SPAM in the sketch comes from British rationing in World War II, SPAM was one of the few foods that was not restricted and widely available; so by the time of the sketch, the British were fed up with the luncheon meat.

		It begins with a description of what spam is and why it is a problem, along with a brief history of spamming and a survey of current activity.
