That's true. However, when FAQ Maintainer mailing list members start to
apply their procmail filters against *some certain* threads in this
mailing list, or even request to leave because they expect to read
FAQ maintaining discussions instead of being flooded with anti-spam
strategy discussions, that will be the saddest thing.

If I am right, there are two mailing lists about FAQ maintaining. One is
"FAQ-Maintainers@consensus.com", and the other one comes with less traffic
and I do not subscribe it. I propose "FAQ-Maintainers-on-spams@consensus.com"
if spams really deserve some time for this FAQ Maintainer mailing list.
