I hope you don't mean me :) I'm not a core dev. I just annoy them ;) I help SA thru a different means. Perhaps after having a beer with DQ I can work closer with them. I'm testing things for SA outside of the dev structure. If it pans out, one of the SARE ninjas will submit it. It anables us to give the devs some beta, rather then alpha material. Also I am more of a go between on many antispam projects. Devs don't always have time to be involved in other things. So with SARE's help, we can give them some of the best ideas from other projects. This whole thread seems kind of Deja Vu. I remember having almost the exact same conversation on another similar report was done, and completely left out SA. Almost always, including printed reviews, they say the same thing about SA. When the authors are contacted they also say similiar things like, "We had no time to test....", "Its not really a commercial product.....", ect.... That gets real old, real fast. :) Managment still considers open source software to not be good enough. They want to waste money to get a box and a phone number.
