I agree! I could tell Pete was burning the midnight 
oil by the pattern of Sniffer Updates this morning.
Thanks Pete!

  Hi Pete,I've been a customer for a couple of years and 
  usually don't have much to say via maillists. But I wanted to take a moment 
  this morning and think you for the work you do. Keeping up with this 
  stuff must force you to keep your nose to the grindstone. I really 
  appreciate your work.Thanks again,George ThompsonCheif

  night -- there are some unusual characters in the message that made it 
  hard to filter and it took some time to do the analysis (picking 
  through them with a hex editor).  I think these are 
  handled now (as of about 0400e this morning) as I don't have any 
  getting through spamtraps at the moment. I will look into it 
  again.  _M  -- Pete McNeil

Great job, Pete!  And thanks for all of your efforts to simultaneously
increase the catch rate and decrease the FP rate.

Darin.

Hello Darin,

Thanks everyone, kind words are much appreciated. I must share them
with the rest of the SNF team who also work 24x7 to make this happen.
You don't see them often but I couldn't do it without them. This seems
like a good time to introduce a few of them and thank them publicly
for their efforts (We've come a long way in a year!):

Linda (TechGirl) [Accounting/Ops],
Karen (Tink) [Ops/Support/Web],
Jason (the Bag) [Filter Team Leader],
Adam (TheFelcher) [Rule-Tech],
Baron (Kojak) [Rule-Tech],
Michael U [Rule-Tech],
Nick G [Rule-Tech],

Michael M [Exec],
Scott C [Sales/Marketing],
Joel S [Hosting/Sourcing],

...then there's me...

Pete (Madscientist) [Science/Development],

Plus a bunch of folks (too many to list everyone) who help out from
time to time in too many ways to count.

Ok... work to do...
