An electronic message is "spam" IF: (1) the recipient's personal identity 
and context are irrelevant because the message is equally applicable to 
many other potential recipients; AND (2) the recipient has not verifiably 
granted deliberate, explicit, and still-revocable permission for it to be 
sent; AND (3) the transmission and reception of the message appears to the 
recipient to give a disproportionate benefit to the sender.  --
