I understand the issue of people not wanting to have to take on the task of moderating what goes onto this list; But in any case there should at least be strict filters on what gets through which doesn't look like has been done, I notice almost on a daily bases (which im sure the rest of you have also) SPAM on both this list and on the bugs list. Totally unrelated to the freebsd project.. Solutions suggested on how to correct such problems though the worst thing that I can think of happening is nothing being done at all.
