It seems these days the list is totally dominated by spam, mostly Korean spam.
That's what you've been getting.

There's little to no normal traffic on the list now.  I'm wondering if people
have been driven off by all the spam, and I'm starting to think the list may
have to be closed down and reopened with a different address and better spam
filtering.
