I don't think Dave is concerned so much with seeing the links himself, but of others seeing them and what content they link to. It wouldn't matter if you paid a thousand dollars a year to not see them; anyone ending up at the archives that isn't a paying member would see them. So that means the only way to not have links in your posts would be to opt out of the list and not post at all.
