As someone has said, these lists (@freebsd.org, in general) are a rather huge (and non-moving) target. That said, in all fairness, I probably don't see everything Tyler does. If a piece of mail says "Viagra", "Africa+dollars", "a**f***ers", "saw it on Oprah", "Peter Paul Rubens", etc., etc., ad infinitum et ad nauseum, my mailer has a nice trashcan for that, and a ruleset, so it never comes around to offend me....
