Is an interesting blog post about Hormel objecting to the use of the
term SPAM and requesting that only lower case be used.

I've lost count of the number of times that I've corrected newbies
who have used the term "SPAM" (incorrect) instead of "spam" (correct).
Not only is the latter form the one preferred by Hormel, but it's the
proper term, since it is not an acronym.
