OT: RE: Unsubscribability

Spam, since it is a bulk message generator, is objectionable to many becuae it is unwanted and causes moderate to sever dgradation of storage and forwarding resources. 'These rediculous mails' are being sent by me to the List in order to try and remove the ongoing confusion that several Listmembers seem to have concerning Subscribing/Unsubscribing. I will inform you, pleasantly, that using the word 'crap' in relation to what I thought was a helpful message to you (and others), is faintly insulting, and certainly not the way I personally choose to deal with my freinds and fellow collectors here, Michel. As the unsubscribe process seems to be giving you persistent trouble, I will try to be of help once more. In order to "stop this crap", please perform the following steps: 1. Open a New Document in your mail program. 2. Address the message to 'cctalk-request(a)classiccmp.org' You may cut-and-paste in between the quotes: don't include them. 3. In the To: (or Subject:) field of your mail program, type the word 'unsubscribe'. Leave out the quotes, or cut/paste as above. 4. In the body of the mail (the place where you write the message) leave it blank... don't type any words. 5. Send the mail after you've checked it for accuracy and errors. If all goes well, the 'spam and the 'crap' will magically vanish from your mailbox, and you and the List (and I) can get on with our various interests. Then, maybe you'll be in a better overall mood than you seem to be right now. I wish you well, and thanks for your contributions to the List. Cheers John
