Does anybody know why spam (as in the spam emails and posts) is called spam?
 
I read something about it once - one possibility is the Monty Python sketch giving rise to it. Spam, spam, spam, spam ad nauseum.

There are other theories too but I can't remember what they were!

They said something about the original coders who came up with email clients were of the 'geekier' variety and did indeed make reference to the monty python sketch. Lets hope this is true, or the truth doesn't ever come out to spoil this as i think its brilliant
