Interesting. Sounds like you've hit upon the premise
for a good demo. However, these filters (or the
server outages, or _something_) seem to have missed
certain emails, such as my query about Martin's
experiences trying to get ACPI or dual core support
going, and whether that was apt to be a MB issue.
I'll have to deal with the whole spam filtering thing
whenever I get back to "regular" email reception. As
I've mentioned before, I've been using the
provider-dedicated online gateways for my email, for
the last couple years. What I'm typically seeing is
that their own setup seems to filter out a fair amount
of this stuff. What's left has been of a quantity
that has not yet become burdensome to deal with. I
have no reason to believe that they are filtering out
any good email . . . but then, I wouldn't necessarily
be aware of it if they were, unless something expected
was conspicuously missing.
