The not allowing unsubscribed individuals to post is logical, for a time.
This isn't practical for the reason that many people who read and post to the list are not subscribed to the list. (There are many gateways, local mail->news gateways, etc. eg point your nntp aware news reader at nntp.hks.net.) Either delete the junk, or subscribe to a filtered list if deleting or not reading posts bothers you enough that you think it worth the risk that the filter owner filters a few posts that you would have found interesting. (killfiling on address is not possible for remailer, and content of unattributed unsigned anonymous posts is difficult to automatically filter). Adam
