I get them pretty much daily.  And that is after spam filtering (yeah, we
could have better filters but the groff list seems to attract clever 
spammers.  It's not like we don't filter, I'm on a zillion mailing 
lists, I'm fairly well known - i.e., a target, and I get close 15MB of
spam each day, 99% of filtered).

So this guy is not making this up, most of the mail I see from this list
is virus spam.  I'm not bailing out, I care a lot about groff, but I agree
100% that the list needs some serious spam filtering.
