Hi Glen, Thanks for the analysis. I guess my point was that people (Arup) should fully understand the issue at hand BEFORE flaming someone. I knew exactly what Leon was asking, without much effort. I would imagine that Arup simply perused the message without giving it much thought (he was busy, distracted, etc.). I do agree there are those who would rather have someone else to their dirty work (unsubscribing). However, even reprimanding someone for being lazy can be done a little gentler. There have been, and always will be, new and lazy people on this list. It’s the nature of the beast. Simply stated, anger and rage really don’t help anything.
Let's not turn this into a can of worms. It can go away peacefully now.

That was his main error. But in fairness to Arup, flames can be called for when people ask to be unsubscribed from a technical mailing list that 1000's of other people are subscribed to. People making such requests are usually either newbies who need to be jolted (and also thereby jolting/informing other newbies about to make the same request, keeping the ML free of additional requests), or by rather lazy people who know how to unsubscribe but don't want to bother. The latter type might actually feed on the "kid glove" approach that David may be inclined to recommend. Glen David Short wrote: > > Arup needs to work on his social skills.
