Yup.  I'd say fully half my spam today came from debian-user.  I'm  
starting to think about unsubscribing; it just is starting to take too  
much work to sort out the wheat from the chaff, and my spam filter  
doesn't seem to work very well on list mail.

Maybe it's time to revisit the idea of allowing only members to post?
