I don't think the instructions on how to get off the list are too
hard. I think the instructions on how to get on it are too easy. All
you do is push a button on a web page and, bammo, you've got mail! I'm
like you, I'm on other lists and none of them have this many remove
requests. Of course, none of them have a web page for easy and
convenient subscription access. I don't really think it's too easy to
get on this list. I just think the ease of access makes it attractive
to stupid people who otherwise wouldn't be on a list because they are
far too dense to figure out how to send one message to a majordomo to
subscribe, and another message to a list to contribute.
Once again, for all you lunkheads, who think this message is far too
dumb to actually read, to unsubscribe from this list, send a post to
majordomo at actwin_com that contains in it's body "unsubscribe
over-the-rhine".
It's that easy.
