Yes and that's the point. If you have ever been rejected from a development mailing list because you were not subscribed, you know how painful it is. And precisely the fact that the list is open means you *don't* have to be subscribed to post messages. So in short, people who complain about spam are those who are willing to receive these spam and I invite them to unsubscribe. They cause more noise on this list than the spams because you have to read their e-mails before knowing you're wasting your time. Willy
