Re: unsubscribing from annoying emails

I think the problem was that Biddie didn't know how to unsubscribe, and 
kept sending messages saying "unsubscribe."  Some people got annoyed 
seeing THOSE messages (instead of the types of messages they really 
subscribed for) and someone got so frustrated that he used foul 
language.  Meanwhile, I had written a private note to Biddie explaining 
how to unsubscribe, so I think Biddie's problem is solved.  Presumably, 
Biddie didn't even see the frustrated response from the annoyed list member.

But I'm glad that you, David, wrote this explanation so that anyone else 
who wants to unsubscribe, will know all the steps (including that 
"confirmation" step).

Sincerely,
