As moderator of the PLUG list, I can add some context to this. I'm far more lazy with the moderation that Adam is, and now have 200+ messages going back over the last month to check. Since this thread made me feel a bit guilty I have just processed them, and they were all spam.
Mailman makes this as painful as possible (in my opinion) and is a large part of the problem.
listadmin IYF. I use it to process a number of lists fairly quickly on a daily basis. main@lists.alug is one of these lists, but I mostly just clear out the spam - I don't really like HTML mail so don't approve it, but understand Adam's point about rejecting it perhaps putting off newcomers.
