Don't apologize Bruce. This list is made of people who understands the meaning of cooperation.. Some of us are here to teach, others to learn, and others like me to do both things. But what it really worths is the wish to help eachother. I'm a brazilian member of the list. We have our own brazilian lists and we face the same problems here. My English is terrible, but I don´t refuse in helping people if I can.
Timi, I'm really sorry if you´re disappointed about the list but the instructions are clear. You could be one to help the people who has some difficulty in getting unsubscribed. My two cents. We could have a direct instruction for those who wants to unsubscribe like.
