I, for one, found it entertaining and would never have known about it
  if it wasn't posted here. I'd prefer to keep seeing it. It's only
  one message per week. If that's too much, then what isn't?

Note what Mel said, a 'not-so-quickly changing file of large size' The
  Atlantis Times is different every week.

As for Legends, I hardly notice it. I don't play it, and my kill file
  filters out all but the one or two posts per week that don't say
  'LEGENDS' in the subject. I can live with that.
