That's right - SF doesn't use it. > Idea: why don't you use the famed SpamAssassin spam defense system to > reduce spam on this list? Bet nobody ever thought about that.

A score of 2 could be hit for just about any reason.

You could do that. I don't know who they are or whether or not they'd listen to you, but if you want to, go for it. > Oh, I see, you all read this list in your home mailbox after it has > passed your personal filters on your 24-hour great internet > connections.

If it's that important to you, perhaps you should do what all of us with '24-hour great internet connections' on our 'home mailbox' do and pay for one of those great connections for yourself. > Wait, this appears to be a SF.net list, so perhaps "we can't slip in a > spamfilter, as we don't own the site"?

I don't usually do that, but it's a great idea. I'll start quoting entire messages from now on.
