Ditto for me. Especially when using gmane, but also on the Google Groups 
interface. I'm not sure what it is about this particular list that invites 
spam.

FWIW, your post didn't come across like a complaint or an ask at all, to me 
at least. The spam is an annoyance to many regular users, I imagine, myself 
included. To new users, the list might give an impression of an 
unmaintained wasteland upon an initial cursory look.

Thanks for sharing your experience, it's good to know moderation is low 
effort. Jason Chu above suggested similar settings as well (in addition to 
kindly volunteering to moderate), and now, I do see the value of it.

Martin, perhaps the continuing and possibly increasing spam is a good 
reason to reconsider changing to the settings above that Simon and Jason 
suggested? And if Jason is still up for it, taking him up on his offer to 
handle non-member moderation?
