How do you define spam?

Unsolicited commercial posting ... there, that was easy.

Usenet conventions allow regular contributors (including commercial) to
include a link to their sites in a short sig. file.

Personal recommendations from those with no gain are also generally
considered to be ok.

Therfore it was not spam since it was not commercial.
Before folks jump on somebody, they should look at the site.

I was the first to post a reply in this thread.
I pointed out the interesting fact that the more people signed the less
their chance of winning the monthly prize.
I was also curious to know if the poster had considered the cost of sending a
pirogue kit prize to any point on the planet as this newsgroup has an
international following.

Spam? Did I say anything about spam?
