	For what it's worth, I just ran across a posting, on ba.internet, I 
believe, which mentioned that many spam enablers advertise lists that 
specifically are 100% .com or .net addresses -- guaranteed no .gov, .mil, .org 
or .edu addresses. This may explain why your berkeley.edu address is relatively 
spam-free. Presumably spamming at least a .gov or .mil address would get you 
rapid, unwelcome, no-sense-of-humor attention, with some overflow benefit to 
.edu addresses. Not sure why .org would be unattractive, unless they're 
considered too small to be worthwhile or maybe just not likely to be the 
general public.
