Hello. I'm the administrator. Probably you have asked four times in the
past six months, but at no time have you followed instructions. In each
and every case I have asked you to do specific things, and since you
have NOT done any of them as requested, the posts continue.

I only unsubscribe people after they have followed _exactly_ the
instructions I have given them to ensure that they are who they claim to
be. That's why this list is double opt-in and double opt-out.
Unsubscribing is the opposite of subscribing - not only do you have to
send a message to unsubscribe, you have to answer the _followup_ message
to confirm the unsubscribe.

Some people have changed email addresses and have their email forwarded.
The list software takes care of those cases, so sometimes I have to help
and get involved to compose the correct "magic address", but if you
refuse to do the work to try and figure out what address you're
subscribed with (and all I _ever_ ask is a complete set of headers be
forwarded to me), why should I do all the work?

Mark C.
List manager.
