Okay, let me rephrase that in simple-person talk...

Commercials (TV, radio, print, banner ads, whatever) can simply be ignored. Spam and junk mail must be actively and individually dealt with. That is the difference.

Not if they appear half way the show I'm watching. You can ignore spam by not opening the mail.

I'm not sure how much distinction there is between the mental effort of, say, drowning out 5 minutes of a radio ad vis-a-vis the physical 0.1 second action of clicking 'delete'.......

I can ignore spam and junk mail too. In fact, I do ignore spam, since the spamguard catches it all and leaves it in the spam folder where it is soon automatically deleted.

It just suddenly hit me that a misunderstanding of that phrase might be behind your not starting sentences with a capital letter.

In the United Kingdom Spam is a popular addition to the menu of fish and chip shops, where slices are battered and deep-fried and are known as 'Spam Fritters'.

I can honestly say i have never seen SPAM sold with the good ol fish n chips round my parts. But i do know my Gran likes to eat it.

Oh. and i like macs.
