Think about it - it is for people who have questions. The people who are subscribed are interested in answering questions, or seeing questions and answers. You should not be required to subscribe to post to it, otherwise noone would ever post to it more than once, because they'll overflow their mailbox quota (either real disk quota, or personal mail reading ability). Not to mention people who post with other addresses than what they receive mail (including me), and getting the postmaster to cater for these on an individual basis is not going to be fun for him or us. The spam is irritating, but it's generally quickly blocked by our very capable postmaster, and is at a very low level.
