Maybe these dweebs are posting from an alternate universe? A universe in which not even messages explaining that "unsubscrive," "unsuscribe," "undescribe," "unscribe," and "unimbibe" are not valid alternate spellings of "unsubscribe."
I've copied my short explanation of how to subscribe and unsubcribe too many times to do it again; and it is clear that these folks are either doing this out of spite, are not reading any of the messages we send them, or think it funny.
I agree with you to a point, Tim. They probably haven't read the messages about how to properly unsubscrive. Not because they are dweebs or because they think it's funny. they probably haven't read the messages because they have 2 or 3 thousand messages in their inbox and they're all from cpunks. Unfortunately, this time, I have to give them the benefit of the doubt for being ignorant. I don't think they're being vindictive.
How many of them have posted Unsub messages after being told the proper way to unsub?

I want off. Please help me.
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- KJ> Subject: Re: unsubscrive I didn't keep the article, but there was a fairly recent post to the risks digest that mentioned that someone somewhere has set up an automated address grabber/spoofer of subscribe messages for several high volume mailing lists. This assumption was based on the large number of subscribers being added to the list, who were then complaining that they had never asked to be added to the list. Since the cypherpunks list is a rather high volume list, it shouldn't be surprising that it may become a tool for annoying people unfamiliar with mailing lists. Regards, Dave Hodgins. P.S. To unsubscribe from the cypherpunks mailing list, send a message addressed to majordomo@toad.com with unsubscribe cypherpunks in the body of the message. the subject is ignored. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQEVAwUBMXCrcIs+asmeZwNpAQGyxAf9Fa0DxbyWFQRpnX/l2qMEH0Z4emkKtlGb SrRd8aUEgl5U4TvKYE556iAZk1mkYC4Gmvah5RQqZl6j3kHOzvZIQ35YkJMS4c9f OCncSMS6gyRzu0gIiHk4WDi5/8YKz54QspQzqqOlgq4ZSNFfniPIVASq1U3MuUih Io3dJq8XDSlpaD1kIjwIU/OIC7J4zcjUkYO51J82Qzh+5KII3vKfKv7FezG0N4cv 9v+9VfewWQCxUHVmnpSzdz7boN+wYyzN2GJ+rb7bAmQSv2LEpUBm3QYZlNT0Qiju H0uzWrQjiEGiy70UM6vcLLD4Uq2TrG/prQKCVu11/5XfTZXnpfk4hg== =1h8k -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --- þ RM 1.31 0820 þ Internet:Dave.Hodgins@Westonia.com Rime->1347 Fido 1:250/636
