> it is easier to use a spammed mailing list than a forum. Yes... I would gladly put up with some spam to keep all messages flowing to my inbox, rather than having to use a forum. I can filter the spam as it arrives...

If the mailing list subscribers will dislike that spam so much, they will be able to unsubscribe anytime, but maybe some of them will happily accept that spam and also like to continue using the list. I am subscribed to the list with a Gmail address that takes care of most of the spam, and I also have an anti-spam application for other email accounts I use, so it is easier to use a spammed mailing list than a forum.
