I think you need to get some commercial reality. If Steve has spent a
lot of his time/expertise/effort in turning isaserver.org and this list
into a success, why shouldn't he reap some benefits.
Perhaps you would prefer this list to become subscription based ?
Personally, when I have a problem, my time is better spent finding a
solution than messing around subscribing/unsubscribing to lists. Besides
I keep a store of all emails from the lists I subscribe to so I have a
ready made knowledgebase.
I agree that the adds could get in the way for a thread consisting of
one or two sentences. Perhaps a way of parsing out these adds so only
one appears in each posting. I am sure weblists would be very interested
in helping with this as it would provide a unique selling point for
their services.

When you're following a thread that's compromised of 1-2 sentence
replies, and there are a few of them, you can be guaranteed that the
add's won't be trimmed out, so a 1/2 page email chain gets expanded to
over two pages - that slows things down far more than google does.
