No, take a look at the Statistics page 

I notice a big reduction in spam over the last year or so.  Do others

Spam ebbs and flows.  My theory is that the list you were on was sold to 
someone else who hasn't started using it yet.  Whenever someone says that 
'my' spam has dropped, there is someone else whose spam has escalated. 
Another reason spam drops is that your ISP has instituted a new filtering 
program that is bettter.

There's another cycle - rainfall.  Some places have too much; others, not 
enough.

I am sure the people in Missouri would let you have some of theirs if they 
could.

Not just no, but HELL NO!

Over the past year, the daily amount of spam that I get - most of it
direct to my SpamCop account - has damn near gone up by a factor of
four.

There are reports - completely unsubstantiated, as far as I've seen -
that say that 95% of all email traffic is spam.  I believe them; that's
probably pretty close to the percentage I get at all of my email
accounts combined.
