Proper Use of Spam (revisited)

March 21st, 2006 · No Comments


Just a reminder of the proper use of spam!

When you’re asking for money, please remember that email addresses are a priviledge. Don’t fall into the trap of using email just because “it’s so cheap.”

That kind of use could quickly devolve into spam. And, as the user guide clearly states, spam belongs on a frying pan–not in your inbox.

So remember:

  1. Lift & Pull
  2. Squeeze Until It Pops
  3. Squeeze & Tap
  4. Slice & Fry (of grill, bake, broil, microwave, eat cold)

See. There are many uses for spam. But none of them involve email.

(What is Spam anyway? Is it really “spork and ham”?)
