Ditto. I don't really have time to participate in this activity, but the
methodology is sound and provides a needed source of ham. Many people want
these opt-in lists, and I don't want to block them.

I do participate in masschecks, primarily because I have a lot of mail from
politicians (campaign pieces, updates from my congressman, notes from party
officials, and the like) that was getting flagged as spam even though it is
clearly opt in, and unsubscribing is clear and simple. The main corpus used
in masschecks is the mail for a bunch of techies, and I had a divergent set
of mail from this other interest in my life. Warren's project extends that
concept much further than just the side-interests of a couple of us
nerds/wonks.
