dinner break is over... back to the "grind"!
Whew -- glad I checked the author before adding the sender to my spam
filter! Can't afford to lose all of Ryan Davis's future Ruby posts.
But that was a close one!

I had to dig that one out of my spam folder. I guess "3 easy payments" and "grind" were too much for it's poor little bayesian filter.

I don't trust Bayesian filtering, so I prefer not to use it.
Instead, using a newsreader called Forte' Agent 5.0 (see
http://www.forteinc.com/main/homepage.php\) (on Windows XP), I usually
sort NNTP messages from comp.lang.ruby using USENET filters, which
filter and delete according to e-mail address. Therefore, I usually
manually add e-mail addresses to this filter. Setting up filters is
more time-consuming than using Bayesian filtering, but avoids
accidentally filtering spam-like messages that aren't actually spam
(such as the message that is the topic of this thread).
Once an e-mail address is added, all future messages from that
recipient on that newsgroup are automatically deleted without notice.
Of course, I could alternatively read the mailing list ruby-talk
instead of the newsgroup comp.lang.ruby, and then spam would be
automatically filtered by the settings on my e-mail account, which are
more sophisticated than simple Bayesian filtering, but I prefer to use
a common interface for all my USENET messages, and not all newsgroups
are linked to a mailing list.
