You can filter yourself, too, you know--SpamAssassin, for example.

Subscriber-only posting is overly restrictive, since threads occasionally
get crossposted to multiple relevant lists, and people posting are often
in only one of them.  Preventing that in the name of a little less spam
is a poor trade.

Besides, I only see a couple spams a day on this list at most.  That's
miniscule.

By the way, if you have a name, you might want to set it.  :)
