the first thing i got from the listserv was a confirmation

of subscribing AND a list of Instructions on how to do

this, that and the other......most prominently was how

to "unsubscribe".        the first thing i did was to print out a

copy of those instructions.          a common sense kind of

thing, i do believe.        i had never been subscribed to

a list before......heck, i had only been on the internet

for about 3 days.         although the person that turned

me on to the list (bill gusky) did warn me about the

volume.       the first time i watched my mail box fill

up with list mail, it was the coolest thing i ever did

see.          i think keith does a good job of getting

instructions to "newbies" but, he can't go to their

house and hold there hand.        he also, about once a month,

posts the instructions to the whole list.

these people just don't read anything from the git-go.

we're just gonna hafta learn to putup with it.

"unsubscribe me, please"   "oh,boo-hoo"
