Well it might help.
My concern is: does the list require you to sign up in order to post?
If anyone can post to the list without signing up, this is a bad thing and
can lead to more spam. I suspect this is the case, since most spammers are
too lazy to keep signing up.

If it's an open list, then I'll probably quit.  My spam filters catch
99.9% of spam, but won't catch any coming in from MythTv.org

My preference for avoiding spam is higher than my desire to be on this list.
