Mr Dalton put the counter-argument pretty well when it said, it only takes a second to delete an email.
Much less than a second, and it takes no time at all to not read it in the first place. If you don't have time to read all the messages on the list, don't read them. You don't have to read every single email that comes into your inbox, and with the proper filters the emails won't even literally appear in your inbox in the first place.
All mailing list emails I get go to my "mailing lists" folder. Sometimes I go weeks without reading any of them. Sometimes I skip them altogether when I get back. Sometimes I skim the subjects.
It would be great if we could subscribe to a mailing list and get only the emails we are interested in, and absolutely nothing else. But it just doesn't work with that way. Get over it.
