The obvious solution is continue to flood debian-curiosa with spam, etc,
but create a debian-curiosa-subscribers-only.
The mailling list s/w will only forward email to -subscribers-only if the
from address matches a subscribers address.
Then, people whom want to read "uncensored" (mostly spam) are free to read
debian-curiosa, and the rest of the readers can read the
debian-curiosa-subscribers-only list.
I don't think this is part of standard functionality for most mailling list
software...
Another solution is allow only subscribers thru to debian-curiosa, and also
repost absolutely everything to
debian-curiosa-spam-spam-spam-morespam-please.
Another solution is create a debian-curiosa-subscribers-only, moderate it
to only repost only debian-curiosa subscriber posts, then subscribe
debian-curiosa-subscribers to the main debian-curiosa list.
This would change it from a censorship issue to a choice issue.
