So, first you say that you will stop posting if someone explicitly tells 
you that you are an annoyance. But then, when someone *does* tell you that, 
you feel offended, continue to troll, and "threaten" to unsubscribe if 
someone will tell you again that you are an annoyance.

Yeah, either I'm a typical troll, or I'm Troy Smith.  The answer is simple.  
When kneem wrote the second on-list complaint, unsubscribing was the furthest 
thing on my mind at the time [read: Mark's lost in his own web of lies].  
When Rob Seeberger complained the first time, I was a little annoyed and 
toying with the idea of unsubscribing anyway.  So for the sake of 
consistency, and mulligan, I'll unsubscribe again if I get more requests.

The thing is, everytime I try to solve a problem of mine by getting rid of 
the source of irritation I end up creating more sources of irritation in 
addition to the one that was there before [I don't even come close to 
succeeding].  Therefore, I should shift strategies and merely tolerate the 
ones that are there, because for the rest of my long long life I will be 
watched and monitored, because it is in everybody else's interest to do so.  
My karma.  My offspring will be beautiful, it is some consolation, yes.
