From Tyromaniac:


My brother the Tyromaniac still finds time to blog and look for interesting articles while on vacation in S.F., like the one he posted today by Paul Graham on blocking spam. While filtering should work, I still think that only those that are not uncomfortable with reading the term Bayesian statistics, will trust a filtering system. It will be like the fear of using credit cards online, its irrational, but in the back of their minds the common user will always wonder whether that one once-in-a-lifetime all-important you-are-a-winner e-mail is being blocked by the filtering.
