Rob I'm glad you cleared this up, because I was just thinking of that possibility myself.
Please express our deepest and most sincere apologies to the widow and family involved. I don't think it was anything more than curiosity that motivated most people to inquire about the accident details (the same as we always tend to do when these things occur), though some of the recent postings on the topic of unsubscribing were rather less than sensitive (though thankfully after the unsubscription request was successful). It is something this list needs to think long and hard about - the next accident could very well be someone else from Aus-Soaring, and how would their spouse/partner/family feel if put into the same situation, getting e- mails about a loved one's accident, and too distraught to think straight about how to stem the flood of messages in their Inbox. C'mon guys and gals on Aus-Soaring, we need to raise the bar a bit when it comes to sensitivity and ettiquite on this list. Simon, is there anything more you can do to make the unsubscription process easier ?
