[LINK] Is spam starting to be brought under control?

[Stilgherrian]

Gentle Linkers,

Another month, another update of my almost-scientific graph of the 
rise of spam.

     http://www.stilgherrian.com/spam/

The amount of spam I've received seems to have flattened out somewhat 
during December and January -- though it's still running at more than 
5500 messages a month.

I've no idea why this might be, although I'm speculating that it's a 
seasonal thing: even spammers have a pre-Christmas advertising spree 
and then have a slowdown after the holiday season.

Or could it be that measures to combat spam are starting to turn the tide?
