Selfishness? I think you might want to look in the mirror first.

We run python.org this way. How about we just ban you from all
the lists on python.org?

When you get 2GB worth of syslog data in less than a 24 hour
period of time, or when you've worked at a site handling tens of
millions of e-mail messages per day, or when you've been personally
blamed for taking out all e-mail across the entire Internet and
resulting in the bankruptcies of more than a few companies as well as
some personal bankruptcies as well, you develop a certain perspective
on things.

Just because you run SpamAssassin (or any other anti-spam
filtering system) doesn't mean that some spam won't slip through.
Run a large enough site, and when even a relatively small percentage
slips through, you're still talking about large amounts of bogus
stuff that you've got to try to deal with.
