Allow  me to take this opportunity to thank the folks that *are* 
doing/managing this spam-filtering of the mailing list side of 
things -- the drastic drop in spam (from 6+ months back) is much 
appreciated!

Though I guess this thread does beg the question:  is there a way 
to read the filtered mailing list with a newsreader (via NNTP) 
instead of getting it delivered via email or subjecting oneself 
to the spamminess of c.l.p?  I like some of the "kill-thread" 
types of options I've got on the NNTP side of readers that aren't 
as readily available to me on the email side of things 
(Thunderbird allows for thread-kills in News, but not in email).
