[SpamCop-List] email signal to noise ratio continues to fall

I've seen the reports that say spam passed 50% of all email a while ago, but I'm
sure that number varies widely. Out of curiosity, for people who have access to
unfiltered data (and don't actively try to get spam), what is your current
signal to noise ratio? My (work) address is six years old, and I did dumb things
with it at first, like including it in newsgroup postings. In 2003 I got 10,000
spam and 1,000 legitimate emails; my ratio is 1/10.
