The danger comes when the addresses are placed on web pages. Then they become targets for the spam bots. It takes a while for your address to be collected, added to a spam collection, purchased, and used in spam. I'm seeing a lot of spam for the "sins" in not protecting my address which I committed two and three years ago. (I plan to eventually replace and retire that old address now that I've started being more vigilant with new ones.)
The best "philosophy" with this regard is yes, to enjoy lists, don't let spam take away any of your fun, but also take a very simple measure that stops most of the spam: keep the addresses off web pages.
So, if this list can do that, either by using an archive service with protection, or by restricting access to the archives based on a password, we will be able to enjoy our discussions about Rev thoroughly but also know we won't be helping the spammers!
