Well, it looks like I lost that bet.  I had it as 4 days before you made
some snide remark about the departing committee members.  One of the
advantages at no longer being VP is that I can say what I think now.

Put up or shut up.  If you think SLUG was being run poorly, why not get
up off your backside and nominate yourself to the committee?  Do
something about it, or is it more fun to sit there and moan about how
other people do things?

If and when the list policy changes, I'm sure it will come from a
consensus from the financial members.  Details for actually becoming a
financial member can be found here btw :

I would welcome such a vote, to put an end to the bi-weekly flamewars
that seem to be occuring.  I have no real feelings one way or the other,
but I do feel that if the policy changes it should be down to full
members to make the call.

The committee do run all of SLUG, not just the mailing lists.  It's not
an easy job and it takes a lot of time.  It's made a lot harder by the
lack of understanding and support from the people on the list.  

If you don't like something on the list, you have a few options

*) Change it yourself (Install spamassassin to catch the spams)
*) Try to get enough support so that the list policy is changed
*) Leave the list
*) Live with it

I don't see many people complaining about it.  Yes there are a few SPAM
and the ctte are working hard to resolve them.  Moving to a closed list
is being investigated and a number of good suggestions for improvements
have been posted to the ctte list.
