You'll be pleased to know that Chris isn't the only one that can help you out :-) You were UNSUBscribed Saturday evening. >I'm beginning to wish I never subscribed to APPLE2-L as I cannot get >through to turn off the flow. My account is getting blitzed by the Somehow you got through ONCE (at least) to get put ON the subsciber list (with an address you'd have no hope of signing off from yourself). It really shouldn't be hard to get mail to BITNET (others on m-net don't seem to have much trouble). Did you try just sending a "reply" to the mail from APPLE2-L (which Chris reads as he moderates APPLE2-L)? For the many of you who continue to receive APPLE2-L but may wish to sign off someday, the LISTSERV (robot) won't do it automatically (in response to an emailed command) *unless* the 'From:' address containing the signoff command matches EXACTLY (including upper/lower case) your address on the subscriber list. If you're on a UUCP host (or one that uses 'bang' format addresses), chances are really good that Chris or I will have to handle your subscription manually. >I've mailed directly to Mr. Chung, Mr. Nakada, and comp.binaries.apple2 >and tried every variation of mailer address for the last 4 months with >absolutely no relief!!!! Sounds like a World record for patience. Did it ever occur to you to ask postmaster@m-net for instructions on how to get mail to BITNET (My personal experience is that Chris DOES read his mail AND does manually unsubscribe those who ask)? >------------------> mailrus!clip!m-net!sno <-------------------- A more complete .sig WOULD be helpful!!! The various gateways between the point where you injected your plea into the USENET feed and here so munged your address that I would be hard pressed to get a reply back to you had I not access to the address that APPLE2-L has been using (apparently with ALARMING success :-) user@m-net.uucp is sufficient from BITNET. You are likely to continue getting APPLE2-L for a few days as there are a number of LARGE files (tech notes courtesy of Mark Johnson) which have already been mailed but probably haven't arrived yet due to the fact that small files take precedence over large ones.
