Maybe I did not make my original point clearly.  I object to
someone deciding what I can READ, but I have absolutely NO
OBJECTION to someone filtering or deciding what I (or anyone
else) can SEND ... the ongoing abuse here is clearly at the
sending end.

In this case (a mail list as opposed to a newsgroup) I have
no objection to the list owner maintainer whatever you call
it filtering out junk mail.  There was a recent discussion
about something along the line of list subscribers' messages
get automagically sent while non subscribers have to be
approved.  So I guess my question is, how do these junk mail
messages from non subscibers get approved to be sent to the
list?  I hope that's clear.  On the other hand mayhaps I
just don't understand how it works.  There are one or two
other things I don't understand about life, but I forgot
what they are ;-) ... BYE
