They get in because this is an open list. However, after the last few
weeks I'd vote to close it, and allow read only of its archives for
the general public, with write privs only to those subscribed. No
more trouble than it is to subscribe, and as quick as it can be done,
I don't see a very good reason to keep it open to every spam spewer
on the planet.
Man, I second _that_ motion!!!
Oh, and I vote for the use of the 'shoot' option at least as a last
resort.
First resort, anyone?

It doesn't seem irrational to close the list to posting from subscribers
only. Most of the lists I read these days require subscription for
posting. You have to subscribe to read the list, and why would we want
people posting who aren't interested in reading the list? It doesn't
seem like it would be that much greater of a burden administratively
speaking, so I don't know why it would be such a bad idea.
Of course, I don't run the list either, so its just me spewing electrons.
