Spam doesn't have to be selling anything to be spam. It gets its name from the Monty Python sketch, and was originally just used to describe any overposting on a message board or chatroom. Now we often think of unsolicited email advertising penis enlargements, but it's the numerousness of the emails that makes them spam, not their selling of penis enlargements.

Fair point - but even with that broader definition, do etilit's posts count as spam? I don't think they do. They are not repetitive, and the average volume is low (even if they do come in bursts every few weeks).

They're repetitive in the sense that it's several meaningless/pointless original posts within three minutes of each other. One could say it's a repetition on a theme I suppose. A theme of pointlessness. But I don't care, fella' can post all the pointless he likes as far as I'm concerned. I'm mostly just here for the porn.

I mean, uh, the articles.
