I agree. This is a public list and LUG mailing list archives on the web 
can be a useful resource when they pop up in search results. I've solved 
a lot of Linux related problems through LUG postings on lists I'm not 
subscribed to.

There must be a better way of solving the spam problem here, if only 
suggesting that people use a different address especially for mailing lists.
