Spam turning 30 this month, no gifts please: The culprit: Gary Thuerk, a marketer for the old Digital Equipment Corporation. His crime: Sending a sales e-mail to 393 users on Arpanet (then a US government computer network and the predecessor of today's Internet). Little did Thuerk know that he'd just become the world's first spammer.
One of the best spams ever (2002): Received by Scott Graneman.
