The ads from Egroups are an annoyance to many. I run a couple of other
groups on Egroups, so I've been over this ground. If the group sponsor is
willing to pay a fee to Egroups, something like $5 to $10 per month, they
will eliminate the ads. If it is enough of an annoyance to us members,
perhaps Mark could ask for people to volunteer to send $1 a month to him,
and he could pay Egroups to leave the ads out.
In my groups, nobody thought it was worth money to get rid of the ads, so we
live with them. For users of Outlook Express or Entourage, I can give you an
AppleScript that will strip out those ads. See my web page (URL below).

I receive my IOMUG mail via OE 5.02, at Earthlink.
Beginning today, most of the individual messages I've
received (like this one) have included an eGroups
Sponsor ad. They take forever to load, and I'd rather
not have to deal with them. Since the group's move to
eGroups, I've been more than a little confused. I had
hoped to wait until we'd officially left the UTA site
before making any drastic changes to my subscription.
Is there some re-setting of my OE prefs that I need
to attend to ? or should the ads be eliminated on the
sender's end of the posts?
