Its from a Monty Python sketch where everything on the menu came with Spam. Spam being some sort of processed meat product. It would probably fit this situation better than emails, but I agree with Giggles. Some people will find it worthwhile or useful to them.

The alternative would be someone at Amazon deciding what we are allowed to read on little more than a whim, or giving organised groups of zealots the power to have books removed just by getting enough people to click on a link saying "censor this book".

When you democratise publishing you have to take the bad along with the good.
