What differentiates spam from any other e-mail I receive is its 
*irritating* characteristics which happens due to 2 things:

- repetitive nature
- content not interesting to me

If either one of the two things above is not present, then it doesn't 
bother me. Only when the 2 characteristics are present, then I consider 
it to be spam.

As such, my definition of spam is:

Spam = annoying message due to repetitive nature and uninteresting content.
