Well then: - why aren't you helping me ? it's not my fault that your Mailman machine doesn't respond to classical subscription requests ? or are we banned because it doesn't work until now ? - why aren't you responding to mail directly sended to you with specific ask for subscribing a certain address ? >It's all too > easy for any of us to think that our own problems are more important than >those > of others, You said this! I don't thought so! >but that's really only because none of us has the full picture. I've no any problem with no any list changes operated currently with lots of other mlists; so I would aks you please please please to be a little bit more colaborative and help me since it doesn't work as expected: I send you the mail to subscribe privately, and that's the only thing we probably can do, it's now ten days ago and the problem is still the same: are you happy with this ? >For > example, from my own life: I've already outlined that there's a lot more >to my > life than computers. Agree with you! that's why I asked for helping! but if it will take ten days more I will consider this as a refusal to help! >I could've added even more stuff like the fact that one of > our children has cerebral palsy and that my wife has a very serious form >of > cancer so I've been sitting with her for many hours in hospitals while >they've > been torturing her with treatments which have, as their only saving grace, >the > fact that they're less severe than the cancer itself. OK Dave, respect for this; but isn't it possible to ask to a second person to co-administrate the list so that there should be a kind of "permanence" ? I use do so since I was in the hospital in 2009 and so unavailable! then I saw the need for adding some other co-admin just for this reason because nobody knows how does things can turn out! We are humans, not robots, but projects have to go on! Of course this is just a suggestion, decision is yours, and be sure the job you are doing is very very great Dave! but if needed maybe it's a good plan to have a right-hand (sorry for the wrong terminology). > I'm sure that most, if not all, of the other members of this list, perhaps > including you yourself, have many such issues in their lives which are way >more > important than someone's mailing list subscription. Yes Dave of course they are. Well, when you have more time, seeing that the problem doesn't seem to resolve itself, please can I (may I) send you a private mail where asking you to subscribe the desired address ? that's all I want, nothing more nothing less ? I've no asked for the ML problem to exist, I've no any with no other ML; sorry if I'm disturbing with this quite futile problem. > The point I'm trying to make is that it's not actually your right to have >this > problem fixed.

I only ask to be changed, I'm already subscribed and happy to read the mailing of this list; so once again if you find some time to do it, I would really appreciate, I'm not discussing here to create more problems, but in a few days this account is closed and I wouldn't receive mails from this list while I can't resolve it myself, unfortunately. >We should even have this attitude when we're receiving help from someone > whom we're paying for that help. > I'm too lazy to go looking for it.

Dave please listen: i have tried both the "by mail" requests and the online requests surfing to the mailman/listinfo/ page corresponding to my current e-mail address: in both cases it fails. You're the one and only who can fix it for me, really! so I ask. Once it's OK I will silently continue to read as I did before. Thanks in advance.
