It's quite possible many are not aware that some of the photo-sharing
sites are running tasteless ads. I can't speak for anyone else but I
use ad-blocking software that prevent most of those kinds of
annoyances.

I don't think it's fair to those whom have found an image sharing site
that they feel comfortable with (a point of contention in many archive
conversations) to block their content from anyone reading the
list/archives. Deleting the messages would put holes in our
conversations and effectively censor certain contributors that rely on
that site for image hosting. I do think it's good you brought it up;
in case anyone wants to review alternatives.

Best,
Brian Rytel
P.S. If anyone needs a GIC or Galoot-o-pedia account for posting
images, please let me know directly. Also, if anyone is interested in
ad-blocking add-ons for Firefox or Chrome please reply to me
personally and I'll try to help.
