about a month ago: Unsubscribe [email protected] Mike, I was amazed when a Penn ISC supervisor needed to ask how to unsubscribe from the public list-hahaha hehehe. I think it was Kimm that explained the process to you. You're a fast learner! We need to remind the list, that you needed to publicly ask for help to unsubscribe with your only other post, immediately after Tony's "Glenn's Whores" series. Welcome back to the public list, Mikey! But I think people that only contribute with either deceptions or ad hominem posts are much happier at one of your censored Penn sites: [email protected]. I'm sure a smart Penn ISC supervisor like you can sign up with a censored Penn sponsored list-hahaha. I look forward to more of your helpful posts now that the little people at ISC taught you how to subscribe again-hahaha. I'd like to discuss with you, the difference between exposing intentional deception and paranoia.
