I think it's a case of Friday pendantry :-)

Spam is more correctly the name given to the mass mailout of email with 
disguised from addresses. I should have said UCE instead of spam as it 
wasn't a bulk email but an unsolicited commercial communication sent 
specifically to me.

But as I said elsewhere, they're same as far as the law is concerned.
