I'm going to top-post because... who would read all those frustrated "unsubscribe" messages again and get past them to something written below?
Anyway, if Mr. Considine indeed subscribed from "[email protected]" then either he got the confirmation request -- five times -- and failed to follow through... or... there's a glitch and he didn't receive the messages from the listserver. HOWEVER, if Mr. Considine had originally subscribed from a different address (presumably one that's been forwarding his list-mail to "[email protected]") then can somebody tell me what he should be receiving from the listserver when he attempts to unsubscribe from "[email protected]"? Perhaps a message to the effect: "If you are receiving mail from [email protected] mailing list, please be aware that you are not subscribed under the name "[email protected]". If you used a different e-mail address to subscribe, try unsubscribing FROM that address. Also check your inbox at that address for a confirmation request from me (the listserver program). This listserver doesn't unsubscribe you just because any old person (or e-mail address) asks to unsubscribe you; it could be someone pretending to be a subscriber, playing a stupid prank. When I (the listserver) receive an unsubscribe request, I ask for confirmation from someone AT THE SUBSCRIBED ADDRESS, and I don't act until that confirmation (sent from that address) is received." > -----Original Message----- > From: michael considine [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Monday, November 16, 2009 8:28 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Fw: [users] Fw: unsubscribe > > > > > > ----- Forwarded Message ---- > From: michael considine <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Mon, 16 November, 2009 5:27:22 PM > Subject: Fw: [users] Fw: unsubscribe > > > > > > ----- Forwarded Message ---- > From: michael considine <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Thu, 29 October, 2009 6:05:32 PM > Subject: Fw: [users] Fw: unsubscribe > > > > > > ----- Forwarded Message ---- > From: michael considine <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Thu, 29 October, 2009 6:04:28 PM > Subject: [users] Fw: unsubscribe > > > > > > ----- Forwarded Message ---- > From: michael considine <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Mon, 5 October, 2009 6:43:29 PM > Subject: unsubscribe > > To whom it may concern, > > I would like to unsubscribe from this Website.

We don't control it - we just participate in a list that's owned and operated by somebody else. We feel your pain, but have no power to fix you up. If on the other hand, you subscribed using a different address, and forwarded the mail from that other address to "[email protected]", and now are not bright enough to realize that you have to use the original subscribing address ([email protected])to do the unsubscribing... OR, if you did indeed subscribe from "[email protected]" and are now asking to unsubscribe from that address, BUT have ignored all the automated requests for confirmation... THEN you sir have basically farted in a crowded elevator. Any way you slice it, nobody on this list has the power to fix your situation. We are all list-members just like you. The difference is that most of us want to be here, except when the farting-in-close-quarters becomes too obnoxious. Thanks for your time.
