perhaps try using gmane.org as an interface to the lists...

hmmm, i'll see what i can do. it's possible that just configuring some
thresholds a bit differently would make it match the ugly blended
fields. btw some blended fields are already making it through pullup
-- until the pan gets to the tower, it's mostly smooth -- and there's
also a very badly combed frame right when wakaba gets to the right end
of the bridge. actually something crazy is going on there: the video
seems to jump backwards a frame or something, so it's probably totally
messed up in the source.

on the bright side, it's really good to hear that pullup handles most
of the rest just fine! could you provide a short clip where pullup
works but other filters mess up bad? i'd like to see the pattern for
myself sometime.
