Something strange is happening.

Over the past week or two the number of emails in my Hotmail Junk folder have been dropping.

Everyday I open the folder, scan addresses and hit 'Empty Folder'.
I was up to 100+ a day but it's in decline. The last few days have been 34, 22, 19 and today, just 11.

I'm wondering whether resolutely ignoring them (not ever opening them, ever) gets you dropped from the list eventually (because most of them increase their sending if you use their "unsubscribe" method - ie: Active Account! Let's mail them some more!), or if Hotmail's finally starting to block some of the larger known culprits, or (most unlikely) they've developed ethics simultaneously...???

Anyone else experiencing this?
