dependence on bogofilter

When I started using bogofilter late last year, spam was an annoyance at
around 30 per day.  I could deal with it, but it took lots of extra time.
Yesterday, I got bounced by an old friend's email when she changed it due to
too much spam, and when I tracked down a new address, that one was abandoned
too!  Today, I found out my brother switched to a new address due to spam.
I now realize that bogofilter is no longer a time saver, it is a necessity!
In a span of less than a year, I've had at least a 350% increase in spam.
But now with bogofilter, it is hardly even a nuisance.  With this epiphany
of just how important bogofilter has become (negating the popular need to
hop from one address to another), I just wanted to share my gratitude to all
who have worked on bogofilter, particularly David Relson, for constant
updates and for endless patience on this list.  This is truly a wonderful
open-source community.  I can only imagine the countless numbers of other
people who have benefited as much as I have.  Thanks for everything.

Tom
