I used to be a very active anti-spammer.  Subscribed to nanae and the whole 
nine yards.  One day I realized I was never going to make a dent in the 
problem because somewhere there's an idiot ready to believe and buy their 
crap.  So I gave up my anti-spammer ways and moved on to more productive 
pursuits (like navel-gazing.)

It's a hopeless problem that will never be solved.  It's like the gnats 
that show up every spring to fly up in your nose and irritate the hell out 
of you.

Now I just whitelist (but not with the damn irritating confirmation emails.)
