This is getting rather convoluted. 
You can only post to Statalist from an account that is subscribed to
Statalist. 
You can read Statalist posts without even being a subscriber by the
simple expedient of looking at the archives. In some ways that is
easier, in some ways more awkward, but that's a different matter.

True. However, one could, for only a small expenditure of time, 
obtain and use a free additional email account that does not add 
boilerplate legal disclaimers or advertisements for the purposes of 
posting to Statalist. I think gmail would be an example. One could 
still read Statalist from their corporate account, although I think 
they would have to be subscribed to both accounts or set the free 
account to forward incoming Statalist messages to the corporate 
account.
