Increase in spam

[Alex Neuman]

It's not that you *did* bring it up, it's the *how* you brought it up that's
more likely to have been the cause of the head-off-biting. Some people
probably mistook your tone for "I've noticed a crazy spam increase it so it
must be true and if you didn't you're dumb" or something like that. Paul,
however, IMHO, was a bit more cautious (the use of "wondering, seems"
instead of more categorical words, mentioning stats, asking for input) so
it's less likely his question would be misinterpreted.

I, for one haven't noticed it - but it's more likely to mean that I don't
look hard enough, not that Paul is mistaken. He probably looks more at his
logs and performance issues more than I do, since I usually only notice
there's a problem when the excrement is already hurtling towards the rotary
cooling device (you know, your servers either deliver e-mail in 30 seconds
or less or your clients start ringing your phone off the hook).
