Yeah, some closer attention to the filter patterns would be good too.
One of the things that got me ticked off today was having several
messages blocked because they contained "cansel" (deliberately
misspeeled here to avoid triggering that filter again), in the middle of
the line several lines down.  I can see the argument for filtering
messages that have that word as the *first* in the body, but not like
this.  It's a perfectly useful and indeed fairly important word for
technical discussions.  I've been bit similarly in the past by other
filters that seemed overly loose...
