Here is a proposal:
This is supposed to be a technical discussion group. If someone is
going to place some tidbit of information into the group, other than
their own opinion, I propose that they should offer substantiation for
the tidbit.
In the case of statistics, a citation to its source and/or a discussion
of how it was obtained.
That way we will have some ability to assess the tidbit, rather than
being expected to accept it blindly.
Wouldn't it be more sane to ask people to check the archives for that
poster? *sigh*
Anyway, I'll comply:
This is just spam detected for our customers (about 1.3m users across
the globe). So some has got through (about 92-98% accuracy is usual).
Spam is detected by a variety of means, but most spam is detected via
heuristics (and no I'm not proposing this as a long term solution to
spam - I'm merely posting the figures here for research/analysis
purposes).
Further details available on http://www.messagelabs.com/viruseye (will
be updated to the March edition later today).
