If you really want to try it out, go for a couple months trial period where, instead of removing messages, messages are tagged with a "This message would have been filtered if..." tag. Obviously, this is a much more benign way of measuring the potential benefit:harm ratio. It certainly would be interesting. A lot of posts from John Dyson recently would have been tagged. More recently, one from Kirk McKusick would have been tagged, too. More interesting, I (completely, 100% believe), would be the number of messages _not_ tagged. -- This .sig is not innovative, witty, or profund.
