You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.  Having to press
"delete" is the LEAST of my concerns.  Once that junk has already arrived
at our system, it's too late.  The bandwidth has been used up.  The cycles
our mail server spent receiving a hundred thousand pieces of junk are
gone, cycles which should have been spent sending and receiving legitimate
e-mail that might not get through.

And those filtering programs you're so in love with cost *more* system
resources.  A LOT more.  They don't save any resources except the time
necessary to press "delete."

You may want to find out just what the hell you're talking about before
you start giving out advice.
