Yes they are. And its kinda sad to think that people are so devoid of
real life friends that they have to report every minutiae detail of
their life here in far too numerous OT threads. People who are friends
here and want to share news usually know the direct email addy to send
such information to. I recall when RFC was far more cooking/food
oriented and miss those days.

I tried Spam once during its 50th year anniversary. No plans to repeat
the experience.
