IF you do change your yahoogroup setting to text, the ad can be lost at the bottom of the page 
especially when the group's unsubscribe message can be so long. 

I am never bothered by any of the ads on yahoogroups. They are so low down on the view, that I hardly 
register them, much the same way I hardly register some of the long sigs that come up. And since I 
will stop scrolling at the unsubscribe message, well, I never get to the ad. I don't think that this 
is a valid reason to not use Yahoogroups, since you can easily ignore them. 

There is a digest mode, but I don't like it  since people reply to the digest number without copying 
the subject line to the message they are posting to. 

The HTML version though seems (last I remember) to stick the ad in your face, download additional 
graphics and such. It is IMHO, a waste. Use the text only mode and all is well. And with getting about 
up to 12,000 emails a month a waste of my disk storage. Nine days in and already 1800 emails (only 9% 
spam at this point).
