Whoa there! In all honesty I agree with what Wirt said. I firmly believe
that the ability to use Deja News to find old postings far outweighs the
annoyance of spam. I find it easier to use and faster than searching on
Raven. I find the spam just as distasteful as the next person, but I filter
it to a separate folder, press the delete key and move on.

My "Baloney" comment actually was a simple reply to Wirt's straight line
"higher class of spam." Wirt baited me!
