I was also about to say something. While spam is of course a generic 
problem, I've also noticed recently that the kwin list has more than its 
fair share compared to other lists I follow.

And seriously, it's not the absolute amount of spam from a list, or the 
amount relative to some particular person's total spam volume, that's 
relevant... it's the signal-to-noise ratio for a list that matters. 
Right now, kwin's ratio is somewhere around 60%, whereas most of the KDE 
lists I follow are 95-100%. Too low of a S:N can become a 
self-sustaining cycle.

Your eyes are weary from staring at the CRT. You feel sleepy. Notice how 
restful it is to watch the cursor blink. Close your eyes. The opinions 
stated above are yours. You cannot imagine why you ever felt otherwise.
