I think there's a mail-to-news feed that's not particularly filtered
at all.

(setq gnus-spam-autodetect '(("nntp.*" . t)))

gnu.emacs.bug is even worse.  It is almost all spam.  Someone seems to
have made a marketing decision that people who use Emacs are males who
need special help in getting erections.  Maybe they know something I
don't.

I find that emacsclient works almost instantaneously.  Getting Emacs
up is overrated.

You can't fool everyone - but you can fool some, and
those are the ones you want to concentrate on...

don't get much.  I use procmail to filter it.

It's a real science, making tasteless ads look like something you need
to be reading.  :)
