Obviously, magazines I ordered are not what I meant or was referring to. Everyone understands it... no need to attempt to ridicule it.
I was referring to trade magazines, unsolicited, unrequested and unwanted. Some of those Mailing Lists purchasers use those magazines as a form of soliciting business. For me they are spam.

The linguistic definitions of words we use here do not really matter. It's the actions of those senders what we discuss here that are in question.
It is also true that some people do not like certain emails they subscribed to, and are erroneously reporting them as spam. That's unfortunate.
