Have I not been calm after the initial exchange with Anand? Of course
that isn't a true test since he has been decidedly absent.

Pst, check the OP. It isn't me. I am a public supporter, not the
instigator.

The fact that the Debian headers pretty much skew the SA Bayes score
from a postitive to one of ambivolance is what makes 'em squeak by.
That's why I run Thunderbird's Bayes after SA's chewed on 'em. For some
reason a 50% to SA is a hit on TBird's database.
As for my main inbox, yeah, my filters are quite effective. SA set to
default is pretty shoddy. SA tuned to what SA scores your mail after a
week or two of following the logs can be quite effective. If I recall
correctly, SA is shipped by Debian to mark and pass up to a score of 15.
I 550 anything over 7.5 or so and mark and pass anything 5.0 and above.
So the mail that hits my inbox have to fall below 5.0 on SA. That
happens far more frequently here than any other list I am on.
