[Zope-dev] Re: zope-dev list policies

[Casey Duncan]

-1 on changing the list policy. I read and post to all of the public
lists through Gmane, which won't work if the policy is changed.

I rarely see spam get through list either (unless Gmane is filtering it
all out for me), so I fail to see the problem from that point of view.
