I don't want to brag... but I will

This past week we have been getting a flood of image-only spam.  These types of messages are difficult to filter, as I have alluded to in another post.

Well, just yesterday I put in a spam rule that was designed to block those types of spams.  Today, I checked the performance on it and it had blocked 7 million spams.  That's very impressive; typically if we put in a new rule and it blocks 1/2 million in one day we'd be impressed.  It turns out I went 14 times beyond that.  We have had rules have lots of hits before, but this rule was singlehandedly responsible for blocking tons of spam, it didn't have to be combined with a series of other rules.

Seriously, what would the spam team do without me?

If my co-workers agree that I'm indispensable, do not reply to this post...

But if I'm indispensable, I can't be replaced and hence cannot be promoted. Hmm...
