Yes, you know what it means. Sorry. It's from a link in a really long spam post, so I had a long time to sit and think about it. It suggests "Spector evil" to me, but the verdict isn't in yet. My next guess would be "space travel." Astronaut training? An education in empty container transportation?

Any suggestions? What do you think SPCTRVL means?

Wow, cheap space travel! Think they have any flights from the Kuiper Belt mining colonies back to good ol' Earth? I'd love to be able to surprise my uncle with a ticket to come back and visit us.

Well, actually, maybe I should get him a ticket to the moon; I don't know how well he'd handle Earth's gravity after all this time.

So you're uncle is a grizzled space-miner, eh? Has he been forming any plans on independence from the United Northern Bloc? Or is he one of those bastard Southies?

I was really excited about all this until I saw the space travel and realized that it must not be true.

You think I'd be surprising him with a ticket to the moon if he were a low-down good for nothin' Southie?

I don't know. I've never really liked the cut of your jib. I think you might be one of them sympathizers they're always talkin' about at them weekly training sessions. You're an enemy of the Bloc, you're an enemy of freedom!

I think it means "Spam Control Very Laudable."
