[antlr-interest] much ado about nothing

I agree.

I use very effective spam filtering (only about 10 in 2000/week get
through) but I let all this list through and just trash the obvious spam
without even opening it, so I have not seen the messages people are
referring to.  It is usually obvious from the subject line which ones are
spam.
