Right - I must have sent the following message to about 20 peope *today* all trying to unsubscribe. To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put in the subject : unsubscribe newbie. or go to the web page and unsubscribe via the web interface. If you are still on the list and want to get off it, then you can't just send messages to it screaming to be unsubscribed. You're sending email to all of the rest of us - not the list administrator! When you signed up, you received an email with the following instructions in it - I presume you all just charged ahead, deleted it and expected magic to happen when you want to unsubscribe. Magic only happens in the kernel - something which you people are unlikely to ever come to grips with because you can't read and follow simple intructions. Christ - you pop onto this list, whine that Linux sucks because it doesn't support your electron microscope controller interface, nor does it magically configure every piece of hardware in your house, including your VCR, and expect someone to wipe your arses for you when you want to unsub. Unix is complicated. It's very powerful and there's lots of it. If you fail to follow intsructions to unsubscribe yourself from the list, then you have absolutely NO hope of ever getting it to work "just the way you want it". Right - now that rant's over, I'll apologise to the others in here, and especially to Jacob Bondre - this isn't directed to you in particular, you just happened to be the person I replied to when composing this message. No offence intended to yourself. PEOPLE WHO WANT TO UNSUBSCRIBE - READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AT THE TOP OF THIS MESSAGE AND FOLLOW THEM. SENDING 'UNSUBSCRIBE', EVEN WHEN YOU MANAGE TO SPELL IT CORRECTLY, TO [EMAIL PROTECTED] WILL NOT WORK! GET THAT? IT WON'T WORK. WORK IT WILL NOT. IT WILL HAVE NO EFFECT. NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. YOU WILL NOT BE UNSUBSCRIBED. UNDERSTAND? YOU NEED TO SEND A MESSAGE TO [EMAIL PROTECTED] WITH A SUBJECT OF UNSUBSCRIBE. A SUBJECT OF "UNSUBSCRIBE" NOT A SUBJECT OF "UNSUSCRIBE", 3 COPIES OF "UNSUBSCRIBE" IN THE TEXT PART OF THE EMAIL OR ANY OTHER VARIATION IN SPELLING, POSITION, FONT, LANGUAGE,TYPEFACE OR ANY OTHER COMBINATION YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH. IF YOU STILL CAN'T WORK IT OUT, YOU REALLY ARE ON THE WRONG MAILING-LIST AREN'T YOU...... Now, have we all got that clear? Normal service will be resumed now......if you can call it normal! :) Steve Flynn IBM MVS Operations Analyst Jacob Bondre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 15/02/2000 10:07:02 Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: (bcc: Steve Flynn/UK/Contr/IBM) Subject: [newbie] Unsubscribe Unsubscribe Unsubscribe Unsubscribe
