Posting Obits are appropriate to the boards, as per Rootsweb, javascript:ShowRules('http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=rules&r=rw&p=surnames') is the link to "Message Board Rules" So I guess to those that find the Obits are not to their liking, I guess the options are to delete those emails, or change to a digest option of message board entries, or last resort, is to unsubscribe, which I think is unnecessary, but every one has to make up their own minds.
