I can think of two ways to fix this (beyond obvious use or procmail
and/or other tools).

1) linux-usb-devel can be changed to prohibit posts by non-subscribers.
By definition, this is the list for developers, and probably a developer
is subscribed. If not, what kind of developer s/he is? :-)

2) linux-usb-users list can be changed to look for POSITIVE match, not a
negative one (such as all caps, plenty of exclamation marks, or dollar
signs). Instead, the filter should reject all mail that does not contain
something USB-related, such as "kernel", "driver", "USB", "cable" etc.
All mail that is rejected should be bounced to the sender, and if he is
a real person he will resend (or fw: to maintainer to adjust filters -
this part only if the maintainer agrees :-)

Cheers,
Dmitri
