I was responding to a comment suggesting that there are some extra costs to 
having banner ads in the messages.

Anyway, as I've said, I've been using Onelist and eGroups for years, and 
have not found the ads to be overly intrusive.  Also, these services state 
clearly up front that they will place ads on your messages unless you pay 
$5/month for the "no ad" service.  This is a far cry from sending 
unsolicited spam, putting flyers on your car windshield in the parking lot, 
etc.
