There is no way to "ensure" that out of hundreds of subscribers, some won't
be human.
Some lists and message boards post a short FAQ type reminder and plea
periodically.
As for Spam, this list is the only one I subscribe to that does not preface
the subject line with a tag like [78-l]..., [AV Media Matters]..., etc.
These tags allow one to filter out Spam without opening it, or at least
segregate the LISTSERV messages.
I automatically archive LISTSERV messages and the lack of a tag on this one
means I can have only one on this screen name.
