The IDUG DB2 listserv has a good solution to this issue. We require (I am a
volunteer) that any promotions, ads, etc, have, as a prefix on the subject line
the lateral '[AD]' in this way, those who are interested can still read them
and those who do not can delete/filter
Just an idea

Subject: So, OK, no more promotions from me - after this one
Recently I got a post on the ISPF list objecting to my posting announcements of
new courses and offerings on the list.
In response, I've gotten a number of emails both on- and off-list from people
who say they don't mind seeing my announcements from time to time. As well as a
few who say they agree with the objections to my doing this.
At the same time, I understand and respect the tradition of usenets and
listservs being mostly promotion-free forums for the exchanging of ideas.
So one idea someone suggested was to build an opt-in list of people who wish to
be kept current on courses and other offerings we have available. So if anyone
else is interested in being on my opt-in list, let me know.
(Aside from Rob, Amy, John K., John McK., and Bob H.)
And I promise I will stop posting promotion-only emails from now on. (I
consider a sly pointer to a relevant course as part of answering a question to
be OK).
Kind regards,
-Steve Comstock
