No, you don't have to be a member. The member-only restriction was tried with the old newbie/xpert lists, and failed. The relatively small amount of spam that gets through is preferable to having a list moderator manually scan through all non-members postings, which, at times, resulted in multi-week delays in posts getting through with those old lists. Not to mention that member-only is no substitute for a good filter, given that much of the virus mail going around these days appears to come from valid addresses that are likely to be list members. >filter is not 100% able to stop the spam and stuff. >:( It stops about 99% of it, which should give you an idea of how much isn't making it through to the list. And, as you note, we do warn you up-front that you might see some spam on this list :-).
