As some of you know, and most can probably check, my
reply-to is an alias afforded me by the good graces of Dangerous
Dave Gawlik, whom some know from Spam-L; he runs my incoming
through his spamfilters before autoforwarding -- and they're
certainly better than those of the big ISPs I've tried, and
better than I could manage when I attempted constructing my own.
I dropped off Spam-L years ago, finding most of the
traffic way over my head. (I like to think I may have been some
help by blowing whistles from work; my agency had so much
bandwidth that I could react unusually fast : spammers who had me
high on their lists could get counter-attacked in the act. But
that ended when I retired.) Much of the last few days' worth here
has been beyond me, too. But maybe somebody who's still on both
will put up a thumbnail here, with the subscription address.
