I meant, 'no one really seems to mind', and I was talking about other lists,
ones I use for work-related things.

Maybe we should try and find out whether many people here are strongly
annoyed by these messages and in that case make it list
policy (or at least Good Practice) that any post sent to it should not have
this message.

Then one might have more leverage on the companies to allow a 'public' flag
be set on the outgoing emails, to disable the message. Or use a different
email address.

Jonathan
