I was originally subscribed to just cctalk but now also receive unwanted cctech posts, however the mailman subscription management system believes I am not subscribed to either list and has ignored my attempts to unsubscribe from cctech. This includes a fruitless attempt to subscribe so that there's something to immediately unsubscribe from. It's not as if I haven't *tried* to quietly fix this for myself and not bother you, but it's outwith my power to do so. I suspect if I subscribed you to some of my mailing lists without any means of unsubscription, you'd be likewise somewhat miffed. Perhaps you'd even report it as spam (which it would be!) or complain to my ISP. The "patience wearing thin" was my way of saying I'm annoyed but trying to be restrained because I've been in your shoes. But if I don't highlight that mailman has failed-unsafe, how are you to know it needs fixing? Obviously, as list owner, you can boot me off either or both lists if you so wish; your server, your rules. I'd prefer you not do that though, and apologise for the somwhat brusque tone that I used out of frustration.
