Whereas I believe that it is better to have the subject of spam come up
frequently in the popular literature.  Consider the Chicago quote "It
does not matter what they say about you in the papers, just so they
get your name right."

Nobody believes popular literature completely anyway, and inaccuracy
leading to discussion may be better than accuracy leading to lack of
discussion.
