I disagree.  When you subscribe to a list, there's an implicit understanding
of the content you are signing up for.  If the list owner violates the rules
and posts marketing material, that's spam.

Concrete example:  If I posted an ad for our commercial anti-spam system
on the MIMEDefang list, that would be spam.  If I posted it on this list,
it would be spam-squared and I'd probably be banned. :)
