I'm also using gmail (web interface) and I get quite a lot of the
spam. I've tried training on it ("Report as Spam") but it doesn't have
much effect. Whether that's because the list address is in my gmail
contacts, I don't know.

As others have said, the spam level in this list is far more than any
other technical list I subscribe to.
