Re: [scots-l] unsubscribe
Right. Since it's evident that the quality of public education in Canada has fallen, let me spell out the appropriate process to follow in unsubscribing from Scots-L. 1. Go to www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html. 2. Fill out the form and click 'submit.' 3. The listmaster will then unsubscribe you when he gets a moment. 4. If you can't wait until then, throw yourself off a tall building. It's not as though instructions aren't appended to every message sent to this list.

Re: [scots-l] Unsubscribe
Ha..Ha.. Okay..

Re: [scots-l] unsubscribe
Hi -
I'm having the same problem with getting unsubscribed. I changed the
settings where instructed, but am still getting messages. I've enjoyed
reading along here, but don't have time to keep up at the moment. So,
please, could someone take me off as well?
Thanks!!
Kathie

Re: [scots-l] Unsubscribe
When you use the html form on the website, the request comes to me. I have to approve it. I am a very busy guy. I have all of the computers in the Physics & Astronomy department at UCLA that I administrate. Plus trying to play music, plus I am a competitive bicycle racer. So I get to the list requests when I can, usually once a week. If you want to avoid the human connection. You can send your requests directly to Majordomo, I believe I left unsubscribing open on that list. Toby Steve Wyrick wrote: > > Janice Parton wrote: > > > please unsubscribe me.

We wrote a 50 line long shell script called the "Eric Bot" which performed all of the job tasks of my former boss. For instance if you gave it the input "The server will not work if all the hard drive partitions are filled to the maximum.", it would respond with "What do you mean by 'filled to the maximum'?"
