Hi,
Both my email addresses were unsubscribed from the mailing list.
Karl, It wasn't me, and I didn't get a notification about it. We've seen on the list that anyone can send a forged email to unsubscribe, but then a confirmation is required to actually unsubscribe. Your email, gmkarl@gmail.com, is still subscribed to the cypherpunks list. I just checked. The unsub shenanigans are childish and annoying. I taught my students how to forge an email message in 1998, and of course forged emails are a big part of how spam gets around these days. I'm not impressed by people who are forging unsub emails to the list management software.
I don't know whether it was on my end, or Greg's. Nor do I know whether it has happened to other people.
When an address is unsubscribed, they get a goodbye email from the list software. Did that happen? ~ Greg
