But would you have started off by refuting the advice I had given? That is
what he did. He didn't start off with "Well, in my experience this happens,
what do you suggest." No, here is the exact words of the first sentence from
him, "This was true perhaps 6-8 months ago." The implication is that "this"
is not true now.
Since he was replying to my large post on spam filtering. That is a point
blank rebuttal, pure and simple. It is not a plea for help. It is not an
observation of a different viewpoint, it is a direct challenge to what I had
said.

I just press the delete key because any filtering would invariably cause
false-positives and a loss of mail.
