I just HAD to forward this message I received. About a 9 months ago I joined Adam Curry's "CyberSleaze" mailing list. About a month later I unsubscribed. The messages continued to come and I tried unsubscribing several more times. Finally I set up a filter rule to flush the message and sent some grumpy email to the postmaster of the site telling them to fix their software (this was about mid-June of 1994). This morning, I got the following message. Note the dates on it. Nothing like taking one's time. You'd begin to think the government was somehow involved. -----BEGIN INCLUDED MESSAGE-----
