Phil, of course you and others who have made this point are correct in pointing
out the delete key. And no one is blaming Andy in any sense. Why anyone would
assume that is beyond me.  This doesnt detract from the fact that there is an
increasing amount of spam seeping through nor does it detract from the
irritation this invasion from these spam jerks causes.  Delete key
nonwithstanding.

At some point we are going to either have to accept a closed list, or a list
invaded with spam. All the filters in the world wont keep these buggers out.
Spam authors are aware of email filters and more and more of them are figuring
out how to fool them. And its going to get worse before it gets better.
