So that those of us who are subscribed don't have to put up with the crap from spammers on a regular basis. There is also a theory that folks who ask for help should be willing to give help, and that therefore they should be willing to be a part of the list to learn (and not repeat FAQs) and share what they have learned with others. However, this is one of those debates that never progresses anywhere, so I don't suggest we keep continuing it.
