I am feeling find of beat up by this list on my use of TMDA. But I have
looked at other solutions, and they haven't worked well. TMDA has worked
fairly well for me, and the spam count is down from one per MINUTE to one
per WEEK.

Sure, I'll tinker around with other spam guards in the future, but on my
ancilliary accounts only.

But I'll say, this has been an interesting thread!
