I've seen quite a few mentions of [Hormel's nice letter to spamcop.com](http://imgs.spamcop.net/images/hormel_letter.gif) clearly accepting the slang use of "spam" as junk e-mail. Yes, it's great that Hormel's being so nice to spamcop by not threatening to sue like most companies do. But let's not forget why they're being so nice.

They [sued Jim Henson Productions](http://www.rsi.com/spam/spam-lawsuit.html) for naming a big pig muppet Spa'am. The district court [ruled in favor of the muppets.](http://hollywoodnet.com/Law/suittalk/closet0496.html#hormel) Hormel appealed to the New York Federal Court of Appeals, who [ again ruled against Hormel.](http://www.csua.berkeley.edu/~lila/spam.html) So now, after having everyone short of the US Supreme Court tell them to lighten up, all I can say is it's about time. Good for Hormel |
