Well, let me rephrase that...

"Although there may be a very small occurrence when spammers actually do  
subscribe, there is a much much higher percentage of spam that could be  
stopped by requiring list membership for posting.

I haven't heard of any, but I'm sure there are cases where spammers do sign up.

I have seen hundreds of spam messages that could have been prevented with  
proper controls.
