Spam history.
"Spam" is a popular Monty Python sketch, first televised in 1970. In the sketch, two customers are in a greasy spoon café trying to order a breakfast from a menu that includes Spam in almost every dish. The term spam in the context of electronic communications, is derived from this sketch.The sketch was written by Terry Jones and Michael Palin.
Impact
The phenomenon, some years later, of marketers drowning out discourse by flooding Usenet newsgroups and individuals' email with junk mail advertising messages was named spamming, due to some early internet users that flooded forums with the word spam recounting the repetitive and unwanted presence of spam in the sketch. This phenomenon has been reported in court decisions handed down in lawsuits against spammers – see, for example, CompuServe Inc. v. Cyber Promotions, Inc., 962 F.Supp. 1015, n. 1 (S.D.Ohio 1997). The term has since entered video gaming lingo as a term to refer to producing a large quantity of something, such as rocket-spamming or grenade-spamming.
The Python programming language, named after Monty Python, prefers to use spam, ham, and eggs as metasyntactic variables, instead of the traditional foo, bar, and baz.

there appears to be confusion as to the difference between spam and trolls
as long as puff can help us with the origins of spam, perhaps we could be provided with some graphic origins of bacon and pork pies also
Yes Bliss2 there do seem to be a few strange posts on my email too, but thanks puff for the explanation above. Every time I miss a few days something strange seems to pop up even had to sign in tonight.
