200% correct Art. I'm on the spamassassin list, and it takes the spammers less 
than 2 hours to respond to a method to catch & /dev/null their messages.  Of 
course they are subscribed, what better place to find the info they need to 
defeat our efforts to stop them.

Personally, I'm in favor of a few public be-headings, displayed right on the 
front fence of the SCOTUS building.
