Interesting Note

It appears that the number of back-and-forth emails that GMail will collect as a single “conversation” is 61. After that, it begins a new one.
How do I know this? Simple:
I recently installed Kitten’s Spaminator in order to combat that infernal “byob” comment spammer. It kindly emails me every time it catches one, but GMail interprets each of these email as a part of a larger conversation. I now have 6×61+10=376 pieces of email notifying me that the no-good-son-of-a-motherless-goat byob jerk has had another comment deleted in the last two days. The total number of comment spam attempts since Nov. 30 is somewhere around 1700. I hate some people, most especially spammers.
On the one hand, I really appreciate the whole no-spam-comments-thing, on the other hand, I’m really hating the fact that every time I check my inbox, I see even more mail cheerfully letting me know that another piece of awful spam that some moron is trying to post to my blog has been nuked.
Gah.
