Hey, I didn't bitch, I didn't say it was valueless, I didn't say any
of this. Can't you make your point without amplifying and putting
words in my mouth? It sounds to me like you just want to vent.

I suggested that probably 99% of the false positives I see could be
avoided by just waiting until there are two or more complaints from
the same source before firing it back as spam.

I'm sorry if you don't feel you got your money's worth.
