    We do not object to use of this slang term to describe UCE, although we do object to the use of the word "spam" as a trademark and to the use of our product image in association with that term. Also, if the term is to be used, it should be used in all lower-case letters to distinguish it from our trademark SPAM, which should be used with all uppercase letters.


    Clueful folk in the industry recognize that Hormel is 'being nice'. I agree.

    These pretty much agree with my take on the issue.

    I don't have much sympathy for SpamArrest. They are clueless as far as fighting spam properly, apparently so far as to not even be aware of Hormel's position noted above.
