As someone who has cataloged all the big spammers of HN, by hand; I skim /news then hit /newest. I flag mercilessly since I am in Australia and work U.S. hours, that I way I tend to see more spam than anyone cares to.
There are a lot of HN-worthy stuff that I don't care about myself, but I still vote them up so others have a chance. Sometimes I will come across an extremely interesting submission and make it a point not to up vote it, just to see if there is someone else out there who "gets it".
