Correct.  Thing works great.  I was getting 1500 spam per day (it tells 
me) and now I get very little; only spammers that respond to the 
challenge and I get one and two from them.

I'm 99% sure that the senders of the missnig mail are either not human, 
don't respond to my challenge, or their spam filter blocks my challenge 
email. ;)  It wasn't a problem before because the email came from the 
list not individual humans.

Either way, I've subscribed with a new email address that is 
unchallenged by knowspam.net (which does work precisely as advertised! 
<snicker>).
