"I'm here to talk to you about an itch *so* private..."  Yeah.  :-)

That said, my normal daily mail load is almost 300 these days,
including 9 mailing lists, and my spamcount is about 15; I deal with
them in about 2 minutes; and that's with *no* automated de-spamming,
and about 200 posts a week to Usenet in 12 different groups.

I guess I'm just lucky.

Well, I think the argument was over what constituted 'better', on which
topic I think Chuq and I disagree a bit.  ;-)
