90s literal Spamming against Trekkies?

[Adam Reynolds]

I recently learned that the origins of the term internet spamming was actually from one of the more annoying Monty Python sketches, and in the process I went looking for sources on Wikipedia.It mentioned that one of the origins of spam actually came from Star Wars fans bombarding Star Trek chat groups, linking to this blog post.

I don't know if anyone from around here has any awareness of this sort of thing from before even ASVS, but I was curious if anyone knew of this part of the debate.
