I think that 'to keep a person's nervous index finger from pulling 
the anti-spam trigger' is a better description of the problem - I 
receive loads of spam and sometimes accidentally throw away the ham 
as well (usually because it smells like spam).

When it comes to e-mail I follow the 'shoot then think' approach. To 
keep collateral damage small I use non-lethal weapons (i.e. spam is 
not remove immediately but first is moved to the trash folder).
