I can think of far more productive uses of time... 9_9.

Works well enough for me. As I pointed out in a previous LJ post, I don't receive the types of offers that Old Wolf does, so something I'm doing (or not doing) is having an effect.

My Yahoo mail only receives spam in the inbox only once every few months, the rest gets raked into the spam folder and recycled into electrons after 30 days. When a spam message does manage to slip through the filter I press the "spam" button and Yahoo's filter adapts.

Work is much the same - the company has a security firewall that captures spam.

I've been marking a certain purveyor of kitchenware and cutlery as Spam every time and he still gets to my Inbox, my Spam box is pristine.

If it's from the same source each time and has the same or similar lettering then your spam engine isn't doing a very good job. Who is your E-mail provider?

TalkTalk.

Pile o' crud. Notable for being difficult to get hold of electronically and damn impossible any other way.

They keep asking me to let them control my landline and TV as well ooo super deal but when the provider is only notable for not accepting or actioning cancellations - well -
every time they phone me - usually asian voice almost certainly from an asian call centre - I give 'em a good half hour gripe.
Know what? It's easier to get rid of a Jehovahs Witness than get a TalkTalk operator to ring off. And even then they promise to call again....

Bugger mid day calls.

It's easier to get rid of a Jehovas Witness? Could you take out a contract on Mr Slander for me? :D
