1. The list is a resource for everyone.
2. Your email address isn't actually on there unless you put your
   email address in the email body.
3. If you're already getting spam, it's way too late now.  Learn how
   to filter it.  (Been trying bogofilter recently, very very good!)

What, so I would have to remember ANOTHER password?  So google won't
find it?  So spammers will have to subscribe before getting access,
but everyone else loses out?
