question of spam

[Benjamin Rifkin]

Dear SEELANGers:

I hesitate to add to our inboxes in this discussion, but I thought
I'd suggest that when the same or nearly the same e-mail message is
sent from slightly different addresses, with slightly or very
different subject lines, I would qualify the message as spam.  The
posting in question (about a folklore expedition) has come to me over
a dozen times in the last week, each with a slightly different e-mail
address of origin, slightly different subject line, and each time
defeating the filters I created to send the message to the trash
(after the third message was received.)

Sincerely,

Ben Rifkin
