I filter very agressively. If I don't recognise the name or the subject, the item is deleted. Period. That allows replies to USENET articles from people I don't know, as well as messages from companies I want to hear from and of course anything from people I know.
Everything else is, by definition, spam.
I'm not an optimist. I'm not "looking for the best of it". I want these people who want me to be that way to fuck off and die painfully. Hang 'em by their genitalia over hot coals. Seems to me that what was needed at that conference was a guy with a loaded machine gun and plenty of ammo.
