We do create some filters on subjects, but we try to do that sparingly
since they easily cause false positives. A couple of the subjects
you've listed above might be in normal conversations on some lists
(surprizing as that might be) so we avoid them.

Also, many of these subjects change frequently during these campaigns
- they coding estimates are that there are more than 50,000 variations
on some of the ones you've listed--- and a generalized rule on the
subject alone would open up the potential for false positives.

That said, I have been coding complex rules for these - the analysis
takes a bit longer, but the rules are coming.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention and please do keep pushing
us and sending us samples. The more information we have the more
quickly we can close in on a set of viable heuristics for these
campaigns.
