History
Pre-Internet spam
In the late 19th Century
Western Union allowed telegraphic messages on its network to be sent to multiple destinations.
.^ Although the first known instance of unsolicited commercial e-mail occurred in 1978 (unsolicited electronic messaging had already taken place over other media, with the first recorded instance being via telegram on September 13, 1904), the term "spam" for this practice had not yet been applied.- World of Warcraft (en) Forums -> Post Search 31 January 2010 14:014 UTC forums.wow-europe.com [Source type: FILTERED WITH BAYES]

^ They may even decide that they would give up everything in order to harm you, in which case they will almost certainly succeed.

backronym "

Esperanto interpretation: The term
spamo (with the o-ending designating nouns) makes sense as "
sen
pete
alsendita
mesaĝo", which means "a message sent to someone without request".
