I have used this list for some years now, and find it to be very well managed.
It is not "abused" in any real sense of the word and certainly runs very
smoothly. The open policy does indeed have the occasional downside, but to
my mind this is outweighed by the advantages. And we are all supposed to be
users of FLOSS, and to believe in open standards not proprietary dictats.
You are, of course, free to start a mailing list of your own that adheres to
your choice of rules, or to join or continue in any of the other "better" run
lists that you mention.
The spam filters, moreover, would work even better if people like you did not
reply to spam.
