You've been running mail servers.  So what?  You claim to be a 
programmer also, but I've seen some of the suggestions you've made.

And who cares what either of your clients think?  This isn't about 
whether SPAM is a form of advertisement or not.

But then this is a typical action of a troll who doesn't have an argument.

Here's a basic English lesson for you.

broad
[brawd] Show IPA adjective, broad·er, broad·est, adverb, noun
adjective
1. of great breadth: The river was too broad to swim across.
2. measured from side to side: The desk was three feet broad.
3. of great extent; large: the broad expanse of ocean.
4. widely diffused; open; full: We awoke to broad daylight.
5. not limited or narrow; of extensive range or scope: A modern doctor 
must have a broad knowledge of medicine.


nar·row
[nar-oh] Show IPA adjective, nar·row·er, nar·row·est, verb, noun
adjective
1. of little breadth or width; not broad or wide; not as wide as usual 
or expected: a narrow path.
2. limited in extent or space; affording little room: narrow quarters.
3. limited in range or scope: a narrow sampling of public opinion.
4. lacking breadth of view or sympathy, as persons, the mind, or ideas: 
a narrow man, knowing only his professional specialty; a narrow mind.
5. with little margin to spare; barely adequate or successful; close: a 
narrow escape.

Your definition of spammer is much narrower than mine.

But then trolls always try to change the subject or lay blame on the 
other person.
