That's a convient way of saying "we don't particularly care".
Or rather, "it's way too much like work to take on policing such a subjective criterion; you're grown-ups, a stupid message won't kill you."
If it's too much to work to moderate a mailing list, maybe you shouldn't be doing that. I'm not going to say that all the moderators are just lazy and not really doing their jobs, because that's terribly unfair, and I'm sure there's a lot of work to be done. But instead of giving a reasonable explanation and saying that we're just supposed to accept completely idiotic junk posted to this list isn't fair. Moderators are supposed to, you know, *moderate*.
