[comp.unix.questions] Unsubscribing

2001csxp@sacemnet.af.mil (2001CSXP) (11/15/90)

Hi Folks,
I see that this is not a particulary helpful newsgroup.

A former user of this account subscribed to this newsgroup.  For those who read
it regulary or subscribe through InterNet, you probably notice that not all
mail gets digestified and much is sent to subscribers as individual messages.

I have received 20-30 nasty flame messages already regarding unsubscribing.  Of
those, ONLY ONE PERSON provided any assistance whatsoever, the rest were
basically comments of "How stupid can you be!!!"

So I'm stupid, now even more than ever I want to be off the mailing list for
this newsgroup.  I have sent numerous messages to the INFO-UNIX-REQUEST address
with no results.  Therefore, I info'd the last request to the newsgroup itself
in an attempt to get assistance.  Thanks a heap.

For those who are un-enlightenend, the whole idea behind these various
newsgroups was to promeote the friendly, informal exchange of information and
to help out those who have problems or questions.  Obviously, that is not the
attitude of this forum.  Your apparent purpose is to belittle, humiliate, and
abuse anyone who doesn't happen to posess your superior knowledge and if he
doesn't know the answer then so sad, too bad, what a dummy.

Thank you, INFO-UNIX, for nothing whatsoever.
Now I will simply work on a file to automatically delete mail from this
newsgroup.

      Good evening,

FLAME_ON!

   I am tired of all this flaming inanity.  As the person who runs this
list, I can tell you for certain that there is no
"<2001csxp@sacemnet.af.mil>" on the master mailing list.  If you would
apply the same intelligence which got you on the list in the first
place, you would realize that you are probably part of the local
exploder which *is* on the master mailing list.  It is
<infounix@sacemnet.af.mil>.  Now get out of my face.

FLAME_OFF!

   For the rest of you on this mailing list, I do deal with the requests
which are nicely sent to the info-UNIX-request.  I do not do list
maintenance on company time.  I work on it from home -- attempting to
deal with the stuff two or three weekends a month.  Sometimes it takes
longer. I get busy too, you know, but it will be dealt with at some
point.  (and yes, I do requests before dealing with barfmail).

				Later,
				    Bob
