Hmm... I'm getting the impression that you and I are simply talking
about two entirely different topics - I'm talking about a problem with
communication between members of the same minority cultural group
being adversely affected by spam-filters that make the spam/ham
determination primarily based on spam/ham decisions of people who
don't belong to that cultural group (and who don't normally see
messages with words like that used by members of that minority
cultural group except in spam), while you're addressing the question
of the definition of spam in the context of inter-cultural
communication.

Greetings,
Norbert.
