I've tried info-futures-request with no success, so as a last ditch
effort (and waste of disk space - this note that is) PLEASE remove
me from this list.  Thanks.

Now here's an excellent example of the sort of assholes I have
to put up with...

He sends an exasperated, frustrated message to the whole list on
Sunday January 8th.

HIS FIRST REQUEST TO BE REMOVED WAS FRIDAY JANUARY 6TH.

Two days, and over a weekend and he's ready to bother everyone on the
list!

I rest my case, between this sort of thing and jeff daiell's
illiterate, irrelevant (yes jeff, this is a technical list about
computing) babbling it makes me consider throwing the whole damn towel
in.

It's not a mailing list system anymore, it's more like offensive
subway train graffitti.

Hi, BS.  As for illiteracy, well, I'll let others on this net
comment about our relative skills with the language! (For
one thing, in the English language, proper names are
capitalized!)

As for irrelevant, again (sorry, Elise, but some folks don't
catch on at first), who controls a computer network will likely
make a VERY relevant difference in how it's operated, which
interests it will serve, etc.  Also, you may have missed my
attempts to get back to that subject, as distinguished from
discussions on voting systems.  But I think it's only natural
that tangents will be pursued.  A recent discussion in tx.general
started out with an announcement on a memorial rally for
Harvey Milk, and has ended up with discussions on 
conscription, etc.  While anything can get out of hand,
you should realize that some digression is inevitable.

Actually, the proper word is "damned".

Thanks for your input.
