You mean like the ones I have implemented that filter out almost all the 
spam on this list and leave me little residue but the endless and 
relatively pointless chatter on the topic?  Read the archives. The folks 
who run the lists have their policies.  Some people are convinced they 
could do better.  They quite possibly could.  But they don't run the 
lists.  So stop spamming me about spam.  And, yes, the horse really is dead.
