    How can this list be considered even remotely complete? What about the personalized Louisville Slugger [sluggergifts.com], the noble etherkiller [fiftythree.org] and (for your Tier 1 types who work in volume) the 1200-bung-per-hour-rated Jarvis Sow Bung Dropper [technex.pl]?

    Oh, wait, this is a review of anti-spam products, not anti-spammer products. Never mind.

    Of course you do. It's the only time someone mentions "penis" to you without breaking into fits of laughter :-)

    From TFA:

    Since then the market has literally exploded -- from four or five popular applications on the market last year to a submission of no less than 11 for this review.

    It literally exploded? Wow, what a sight that must have been! I can just imagine all the software vendors sitting at booths in a flea-market sort of place, when all of the sudden-- BOOOM! The place goes up like a chinese firecracker, turning half of Symantec's marketing department into a bunch of crispy critters. Kids are orphaned, families are destroyed...

    What's that? You mean it didn't actually blow up? So it didn't literally explode, then? I see.

    Somebody needs to find the editor that let that article slip through and literally beat him until he's comatose.

    Well they make up for not testing effectiveness by this fun little line: Please note that these decisions were not based on accuracy testing. Duh! I imagine they test stereo systems without audio output and simply look at the box and the colors of the LCD?
