D'ArcyWell, it got through to us adding to our spam problem.

Right. I apologize that so much spam seems to be leaking through still. I
am working on the problem. I'm pretty sure at this point that I am seeing
all the spam (even those messages which gmail thoughtfully traps for me) and
have modified things slightly so that I can dig into the reasons why some
spams are missed and some pretty obvious hams are held.

So, best approach now when you see a spam message is: try to rein in your
sarcastic wit and just hit the 'd' key.
