The point is that we block MOST spams, not EVERY spam that can be invented. 
Yes, if the spammer happens to say "database", his message will make it 
through. So what? This is just one message. If the current filter system 
proves inadequate we will consider adjusting it. But for now, requiring the 
sender to use one of the "good" words is sufficient to maintain a good signal 
to noise ratio in my opinion.
