Cure 1: Unsubscribe. This will cure things as far as you can tell. If
everybody unsubscribes, then the list will be cured.

Cure 2: Use a bozo filter. I can give you the simple one I use with
procmail and pine. I can even give you a list of bozos, if you want :-)

Cure 3: Convince the list admin to create separate signal and noise
sublists. Both lists feed into the main list. The signal list has your
choice of editorial control mechanism. You have the choice of subscribing
to just signal, just noise, or the mixed list.

I don't have room for your entire collection, but I'll be over to start
picking through stuff tomorrow.
