You don't entertain the possibility that not all spam filters are 100%
correct or that no software is 100% reliable, given the fact that it's
all developed by humans, none of whom are 100% infallible?

Did it ever cross your mind that the software might not be so crappy,
but that the user might not know how to write filters correctly?

I really get tired of people blaming the software, and yes, there is
some really crappy software out there but a program that has been in
widespread use for a long time has almost all the bugs fixed and ain't
all that crappy.
