The key points that people are missing here:
* We work quite hard behind the scenes to limit the amount of spam that gets 
to the SLUG lists - and we're already above 99% catch rate. Pete's proposal
is an attempt to raise this even further, not to add spam filtering where
there is none.
* We just voted on the list policy and it was decided by a large margin to 
leave it exactly as it is so as not to 'raise the barrier to entry' to new
participants.

Thank you,
Jan.
