Hi Steve You've been around long enough to know how things work. You know the project has a policy of open, non-moderated mailing lists. You also know that to change that policy you need to convince either the lists-masters or the project as a whole. Abusing the lists-masters on -user won't help. Seriously, how much spam are you getting from debian-user? My impression is that the lists.debian.org filters are pretty good. I admit I don't normally read -user, but the other 7 debian- lists I read currently average less than 1 spam each per day. Personally I like the fact that people can post from accounts which aren't subscribed. It's very convenient to be able to add a cc to another list to get an opinion on a issue from a specialised list. It makes it much easier to cope with debians 141 active lists[0].
