I live in the city of Kingston upon Hull [wikipedia.org], East Yorkshire in the UK. No it's not near London, but it is near York and perhaps surprisingly to many who've heard of York but not Hull, it is about five times larger.

Yes, my name really is Martin SPAMER;
Yes, it really p!$$ me off when people abuse my name;
Yes, it does cause me no end of grief;
Yes, Ii1/2ve heard all the wise cracks before;
No, I doni1/2t find them funny.
No, I refuse to be bullied into using an alias.

So if you wish to get on my bright side, do not use the term Spam*, use the term(s) unsolicited [ commercial | Junk ] email.

Thank you.
