In the end, what's more aggravating, deleting one promo post that doesn't interest you or eight to ten posts bickering over it? Seems like a no brainer to me. I don't understand why someone would subscribe to a list and

If that involves promo posts, then so be it. Perhaps it's incumbent on the list moderators to clarify for their sub
