I don't subscribe to many newsletters but the free ones I do always have some sort of ad. It's just fair for them to put ads on the newsletter after spending their free time running & maintaining the site. If you want a ad-free newsletter, the only alternative I could think of is a monthly subscription kind.

Kenneth,
I've taken a look into that, and it appears the "Sponsor Message" was appearing in the daily new content note when it wasn't mean to. It has been removed. Sorry for any inconvenience.
