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!
