Hi Neal,
I can't tell if we can add a trailer to our mails, I suspect this is
'forbidden' by The ASF just because it may trigger the spam detector - I
would not be surprised if it was so -. I will ask Apache infrastructure
team to see if we can do better.
In any case, I have updated the web site, with explicit directions.

With all regards, we could do better, we really SHOULD have a footer with the
link, and frankly the list serve we are using should honer the established
standard of “unsubscribe” , if the software is not cabable of this, we should
move to using a package that can or google groups.. we can do better with
this, and just using the excuse of RTFM or or blowing people off is not
appropriate . Never assume our users know how to get off of a list that uses
non-standard methods….
This is a failure on our part.

I did state that I was used having that information in a footer, and was told
to simply reply unsubscribe. As far as the fucking manual goes, I did not know
where that lives, either.
So, Emmanuel, I will NOW perform the correct fucking action, and send an email
to [email protected].
Yours for direct, non-wimpified communication.

That was a very rude reaction, Richard. I hope the rest of your business
communications are more polite..
Emmanuel and his developer colleagues were very patient with you and the other
unsubscribers. Emannuel works very hard on this project and cares very much
about it, so the many clueless emails I have just waded through have wasted all
our valuable time.
We all know how to unsubscribe because we have been members of many other
automated mailing lists during our professional lives.
However, I simply typed "how to unsubscribe from an apache mailing list" into
google and was presented with a clear answer.
I have to conclude you preferred to trigger an argument, rather than do the
slightest amount of work.
Emmanuel is French, which you might not have noticed. RTFM is so much a part of
technical jargon and shorthand that he should NOT have been insulted with
genuine Anglo-Saxon expletives by a native English (American?) speaker. Shame
on you...
.. and goodbye from our mailing list.
Brian

Subject: EXTERNAL: Re: Removal from list
Well there’s that, however most listservs’ do honer the age old Unsubscribe
response, it seems this one is borked in this regard…. We should consider
appending a footer with a link to the list’s homepage for easy reference!

Unsubscribe
What’s up with all of these unsubscribers?
They simply don't RTFM...
