Subscribed to nanae and the whole nine yards. One day I realized I was never going to make a dent in the problem because somewhere there's an idiot ready to believe and buy their crap. So I gave up my anti-spammer ways and moved on to more productive pursuits (like navel-gazing.) It's a hopeless problem that will never be solved. It's like the gnats that show up every spring to fly up in your nose and irritate the hell out of you. Now I just whitelist (but not with the damn irritating confirmation emails.)
