I agree with this. I personally don't have a problem with the
"advertisements," but can totally respect JC's desire to not have them
present. However, I am curious as to why the objections are in place.
The free mailing services are free, after all - it's not like these are
commercial ads, outright. In fact, I have often considered getting one
myself for the explicit purpose of mailing lists such as these...
The reason behind that is that at work, I am behind a firewall with the
only communication in/out being limited to web access (ie: no telnet
in/out and no external access to/from a POP mailer). The volume here is
such that even if unattended overnight, it can get to be an eyeful, and
so a centralized email address would help, in letting me deal with the
email at work AND at home... and that would only be possible for *me*
through something like hotmail.
Granted, that's a very specific case, and probably is representative of
only maybe 5% of the population here, but I don't see why (in theory)
that should prevent me from being on the list.
Plus, if I get a great idea at home, I have to either subscribe under
both addresses, or email it to my work account from home, and then
forward it. This kind of kills off the spontaneity and timeliness of
email, but c'est la vie. FWIW, I'm only subbed at work, and usually end
up just hitting 'D' a lot on Monday mornings :/

Heh. I just wanted to get that off my chest.
