Is it just randomly selected who gets the spam and who doesn't or is it 
controllable?  If it's controllable, could I be taken off the list of 
people who *do* get the spam?  It's not that I don't want to help 
eliminate spam from the net, but just that I am really too busy to always 
be sending things back to the postmaster or sysadmin, and I just end up 
hitting "D" and going on.  Also, my Inbox is already always over its 
limit, so I'd appreciate the filter going into effect for my 
subscription.  Thanks in advance.
