Compared to the other lists I'm subscribed to, the incidence of spam on
the gllug list comes across as high.  This may just be because on the
others the incidence is zero whilst on gllug there's a perceptible
amount.  I admit I haven't counted.

I can see the downside to restricting posting too though, and admit I
don't have an answer.  I suspect it's like the munging/non-munging
debate - there is no absolute best option.
