Re: Does the "is" operator only matter for mutable object?

Hello!
I am not sure how I ended up with a subscription to this virtual  
conversation. I am not even sure where to go to unsubscribe.

Rest assured I have no clue what is being discussed here.  ; > )

Can someone tell me the website URL I can go to unsubscribe?

Thanks, e
