I can only assume you refer to spammers as those that consume spam.

I hope this gives you some insight.

Spam is a canned precooked meat product made by the Hormel Foods Corporation. The labeled ingredients in the classic variety of Spam are: chopped pork shoulder meat with ham meat added, salt, water, sugar, and sodium nitrite to help keep its color. Spam's gelatinous glaze, or aspic, forms from the cooling of meat stock.[1] The product has become part of many jokes and urban legends about mystery meat, which has made it part of pop culture and folklore.

Varieties of Spam vary by region and include Spam Classic, Spam Hot & Spicy, Spam Less Sodium, Spam Lite, Spam Oven Roasted Turkey, Hickory Smoked, and Spam Spread.[2]

Spam sold in North America, South America, and Australia is produced in Austin, Minnesota, (also known as Spam Town USA) and in Fremont, Nebraska. Spam for the UK market is produced in Denmark by Tulip under license from Hormel.[3] Spam is also made in the Philippines and in South Korea.[4] In 2002, the six billionth can of Spam was sold.[5]

Introduced on July 5, 1937, the name "Spam" was chosen when the product, whose original name was far less memorable (Hormel Spiced Ham), began to lose market share. The name was chosen from multiple entries in a naming contest. A Hormel official once stated that the original meaning of the name "Spam" was "Shoulder of Pork and Ham".[6] According to writer Marguerite Patten in Spam â€“ The Cookbook, the name was suggested by Kenneth Daigneau, an actor and the brother of a Hormel vice president, who was given a $100 prize for coming up with the name.[7] At one time, the official explanation was that the name was a syllabic abbreviation of "Spiced Ham". According to the British documentary-reality show "1940's House", when SPAM was offered by the US to those affected by WWII in the UK, SPAM stood for Specially Processed American Meats. Many jocular backronyms have been devised, such as "Something Posing As Meat", "Stuff, Pork and Ham" and "Spare Parts Animal Meat".[8]

According to Hormel's trademark guidelines, Spam should be spelled with all capital letters and treated as an adjective, as in the phrase "SPAM luncheon meat".

At the most it can show that two posts were made from the same computer (and it doesn't always prove that). It says nothing about the person composing the post.

I understand there is the right software available to track an IP address to a building?

If the ISP is using dynamic IP addressing then the same IP address will be allocated to different users at different times - it is only where a user has a static IP address that you can tie the IP address itself to a specific building, otherwise you need to track the individual post to its source which is far more difficult.

I have recently learnt how easy it is to track an IP address to a building with some scanners. I also learnt there is a mass of sites on the web that you can download for free to track also. It's way above my head, but anyoone who is a bit of a computer whizz can do it fairly well.

If all you have is an IP address and today it is allocated to me but tomorrow it might be allocated to you, how can a scanner track it to a specific building?

To be honest Bryn, i don't know. It is something above my head. I do know some-one who even showed me sites that give step by step instructions of how to even hack a computer. I find these sites on the web worrying. It's not something i understand so i will leave it to the experts.

Very true. I also understand hacking is highly illegal.
