Spammity Spam

As one who's regularly complained in the past about the amount of spam received per day, I got a good chuckle when I read ACM Queue's take on the issue. Enjoy!

So I guess what I earlier feared has indeed come to pass; by painstakingly (or, if you prefer, anal-retentively) training Gmail's spam filter, I've actually increased the amount of valid email mistakenly identified as spam (i.e. 'ham').
