This virus that's killing our list

This virus that's killing our list

[Dennis McGregor]

*When* is this going to be sorted out?
I think everyone (who hasn't unsubbed already) would agree that this is
getting rediculous.
It's really not too much to ask for people to be subscribed to a list 
before they can post to it. If people don't want to receive mail from this list
then they can post 3 mails to get help - 1 to sub, 1 query, and then
another to unsub - this is not too out-of-the-ordinary as far as lists go. 
The people who want to continue getting posts from this list are suffering too 
much because of this open policy...

I volunteer to post notification to anyone who wishes to unsub until this gets 
sorted out (as much I'm tempted to unsub myself)... Mail me if you'd
like me to do this.

Dennis.

	The worst of it all is that I have (after no less than 30 or 40 junk
messages in a week) been trying to unsubscribe since yesterday, I have sent
three requests already, but the server won't let me go. I'm a hostage here.

If you succeed in unsubbing, I'll mail you when this gets sorted out, if you like...

	That's extremely generous of you, thanks. But I don't think I want to
stay. I realized that I have no time to learn ZSH, using Bash is a lot more
comfortable and easier for me. Even Bash is something I don't use that
often right now. I wish I could leave, but still can't. And still get at
least five or six junk messages through this list.

	Thank you,
