RE: This virus that's killed my patience

[Eric.D.Friedman]

Most vexing of all is that my post last week about going to a subscribers
only posting mode seems to have exposed my email address in some public
archive.  From there it was harvested by spammers who are now using it to
spam other lists, leaving me to deal with all of the bounces and other
flotsam.  I'm not 100% certain that my post to zsh-users was at fault, but
the date of my post and the start of the influx are closely aligned.

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

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.

	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,
