Re: A83: Unsubscribing Problem


In accordance with the prophecy, Richard Harper Maddox uttered:

> people not to flame them.

I don't want to encourage flaming, but in this case I can understand the
people who get frustrated because of all the unsub requests. Trying to
unsubscribe from a list by mailing commands (or even threats) to the list is a
breach of netiquette and sometimes of the actual list rules.

However, if you're cool you don't flame them, you just watch the unsub
requests and the flames with an evil smile, knowing that it will end after a
while. =)

For a laugh, check these out. They're all personally experienced. =)

This is my third and my last request to unsubscribe me from this
crapletter.  The next request will be from my lawyer.  All three
requests are recorded and notarized.  Don't push me.
Thank you for including me, but no thanks.
