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.
