I share your discomfort.   However, my concern with the approach of simply 
refusing to answer questions on the grounds you state is twofold: first, it 
excludes any participation by stakeholders other than anti-spam developers, and 
there are other stakeholders.   Second, it preserves the status quo, which is 
clearly broken.   By which I do not mean that you all are not doing good work: 
what I mean is that because you are so effective at minimizing spam, there is 
no incentive to actually clean up many of the messes you are working around at 
the moment.
