Am I missing something here?

How smart can SmartList be if the listowners can't keep spammers from
abusing list members?  This kind of stuff is just d-u-m-b.

All you are missing is the fact that the list does not require subscriptions  
for posting, which would immediately cut the spam 99.8% but which hasn't  
been done for whatever reason (including the apparent fact that Stephen has  
gone onto greener pastures.... or at least other pastures.

I believe I heard some folks talking about  setting up a mirror list which  
would attempt to filter out the spam better.
