this is going to be the last time that i send a request to unsubscribe my
email address [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the cooker list. so if you don't
unsubscribe me from the list now, i'm going to do something awful like send
a virus to the main email address plus all other email address's that are
included and sent via the damn list. i'm not going to tell/ask you assholes
to take me off your damn list again. if you don't unsubscribe me from your
stupid fucking email list, that is nothing but a bunch of crybaby whining
bastards who are to stupid to do anything other than piss and moan for
nothing. take me off the fucking list or suffer the consequences
