What the #*%! is going on?

Now I have to click "through" an advertisement to get to someones 
posted message. This is ridiculous. 

Do we have any recourse here?

Simple. DO NOT USE a web browser. Use Outlook Express or Eudora. Turn OFF HTML. This what I do.

Not simple. Those of us who want to read the list from work as well 
as home can only do so from the web interface. In addition, I don't 
even want my home email address registered with Yahoo - it gets 
passed out to spammers who then fill my home email box.

I read the list from both work and then home using Eudora.  My work 
computer is set to retrieve the mail, but leave it on the server.  When I 
get home I retrieve them again and they get deleted from the 
server.  Anything I read at work, is marked already read, so I'm not having 
to sort through messages.  Works very nice.  I've got enough filters set up 
that 95% of the spam gets canned automatically.

I use the Yahoo mail web reader and it doesn't put up SPAM when reading messages. 
Yes, there are adds on the message list page but they just flash on the side like
most commercial web pages these days and I shut off HTML in my preferences.  I can
use this email reader from any web capable machine...

Oddly enough, while I get all kids of junk mail at my home address and work
address, I have not yet received a single piece of  junk mail to the address
I created for yahoo lists.
