I agree, but every little bit helps. I'm sure we all know this will be a never-ending battle. But we can do little things to make it a little bit better

Why can't a network Security class just explore the advantages of a firewall
and firewall software, rather than recommend a site to help
users with spam protection?

It's like auto maker recommending you to get a driver to go places

Found this at Wikipedia and apparently, Hormel objects to the spam can in the Top Spam Buster image:

Quote:
Email spam
Main article: Spam (electronic)
The repetitious nature of the Monty Python sketch, in which the customer becomes more and more exasperated by the appearances of "Spam" in every menu item, gave rise to the term spam as the common term for unsolicited bulk electronic messages. Earlier, the term was used as a verb to describe widespread dissemination of derogatory (and often untrue) postings and messages about a person ("She was getting spammed all over the Internet.").

Hormel does not object to the term, but insists that it be spelled in lower case so as to distinguish it from its capitalized Spam trademark. Hormel objects to Spam's "product identity" (for example, images of Spam cans) being used in relation to spamming, and has filed lawsuits against companies which have attempted to trademark words containing "spam".

In 1998, the New Oxford Dictionary of English, which had previously only defined "spam" in relation to the trademarked food product, added a second definition to its entry for "spam": "Irrelevant or inappropriate messages sent on the Internet to a large number of newsgroups or users."
