Please read Spamcop's TOS before reporting non-spam.
I have; you should read it too; not just one para by itself; this is spam.

http://www.spamcop.net/fom-serve/cache/14.html says:

We define spam as Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE). To be considered
spam, a message must be:

1. Unsolicited (I didn't request it explicitly or implicitly); and,
2. Bulk (the same message was sent to many people at once).

Don't read things as orphans; keep reading.

The vast majority of messages in any newsgroup fall into this
category, intent must be taken into account on Usenet messages. Just
because it's excessively multiposted and off-topic doesn't make it
spam by Spamcop's definition. The deputies can clear this up for you.

Read my other responses to you; you're quite wrong here. The deputies would
be happy to clear it up to you, too. Also, Wazoo would give you a quick
response. You're not in posession of all the info you need.

Some examples of messages which should not be reported as spam:

1. Email flaming you from someone you are in an argument with.
2. Email from people who you want to "get into trouble".
3. Email that is obviously sent innocently to an incorrect
address. This might include sales receipts, booking confirmations,
etc.
4. "Office email" with stupid jokes/anecdotes/attachments.
5. Forwarded/CCed email from "friends and family" regarding signing
petitions.

The message you reported could easily fall into category 1 or 2 from
this list. Additionally, it's a bad idea to followup to spam as it
helps it's propagation past sites that employ cleanfeed.

No, none of them. Also, I propogated nothing since I deleted ALL of the
spam.

Get real - quit spamming, which is apparently your real worry here.
