   FWIW, if I may butt in...      :)   
      
   I use slrn and whitelist those I have years of credibility with who happen   
   to post at times via G2 or Doze.   
      
   Basically, you code their score highest (9999) before dropping into a bozo   
   filter:   
      
     [*]   
     Score:: =9999

   [...]   
      
     Score:: =-9999

   I realize this may lead to "expensive" scoring but it's well worth it just   
   to manage my time (as mentioned by many in this thread).
