Wow, what a flaming strawman argument!  I admitted nothing of the
sort.  And since you weren't paying attention, I am not the customer,
the customer is the company paying the bills for us.

My problem with SPEWS is that it is not an accurate way to tag spam.
There are too many FPs.  We (SpamAssassin) need to separate out SPEWS
listings so that the GA can assign an appropriate score (could be
higher or lower, but I would wager that it will be lower).

If the score is too low or there are too many FPs, we can just remove
the rule entirely as we have done in the past for other rules.

SA's policy is to try our best to tag spam and to avoid tagging
nonspam.

To be perfectly clear, I am not particularly interested in convincing
SPEWS to change their policy nor do I really want to go down the
blackhole of debating the merits of their policy.  I just want SA to
tag spam as accurately as possible.  It is my opinion that SPEWS hurts
our ability to tag spam more than it helps.  We cannot know that for
certain until we separate out the SPEWS blacklist into a separate SA
rule.
