These people wanting to leave the list might feel differently if they knew what
I went through the eyes-free list with with GoogleGroups.
For those who don't know, the eyes-free list is for Android users.
It gets at least 200 messages a day, and it is unmoderated.
My ISP had just switched to using the gMail server when I subscribed, so my
eMail went in as my user name at gMail.com.
Then I tried to unsubscribe and the unsubscribe commands did not recognize me
because my eMails going to the list showed up as from my ISP, @cableone.net
When I complained to the list, someone there was able to set me up so I could
not post to the list, but I was still getting the messages.
For a couple years, I just filtered them to my trash.
Then my ISP came back with providing their own eMail server, and I was put into
IMAP, and my filters no longer worked.
Their web interface was AJAX, rather than standard HTML, by default, which made
it unusable by a Blind user.
So after all that, I feel like the folks complaining here have little to
complain about.

I definitely agree 150% that the language is uncalled for! That said however,
I feel his frustration.

Okay!!! Now, does foul language have to come into play? There's no room for
that. I'm just going through all the numerous email traffic in my email account
and Ann Roberts gave a corrected email address that will take you off list. And
another thing, you try running a list serve when working full-time. I don't see
you volunteering. Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones that only to receive these
list postings once. Maybe it's you that didn't follow the monitors instructions
from the get go when he needed to migrate to a new server and start from
stratch. It's folks like you that puts a bad taste in someone elses mouth that
values this list serve.
Good day and good riddens to you.

Well said.
Even when the list was active I personally did not find it very helpful at
all.
But this is getting fucking ridiculous.
I have tried everything and I can't seem to unsubscribe.
Receiving. Multiple. Emails. Is no fun at all!
Frankly you should be ashamed of yourself Mr Gordon.
Blatantly spamming people's email addresses with this nonsense.
Not respecting or listening to people's requests to be removed from this
stupid list.
Messages bouncing when I ask to be removed.
A horrendous web interface.
To be honest there are far better alternatives available to Mac-access.
For the last time please remove me from this sorry excuse for a list.

Administrator,
just because you decided to start this list again is no excuse to take
all
the email addresses you had and suddenly start to send email's/start the
list again. Sending people an email stating the list was available would
have been sufficient. Should this have happened then folks that were
willing
could have signed up again. Secondarily, you obviously have no idea how to
conduct a list hence the multiple repeated emails. Shouldn't you have
tested
this? Are you insane? Good god.
I enjoy the fact you want to have a list and share knowledge. We all need
that. I don't clap my hands in terms of how you went about it. You strike
me
as someone who just got his Nintendo back!
That said, I wish you well with this list but please take me off it
promptly. Since this list has been on hiatus, I've figured out the apple
operating system to my satisfaction.
Best,
Jay
