New subject: [SLE] UNSUSCRIBING IMPOSSIBILITY ?!

29 Dec 2003

      Sorry for sending this message ...

      U N F O R T U N A T E L Y  !!!

      It is ***impossible*** to unsubscribe from this discussion 
list !

I have done the followings:

   1  I have sent 6 mesages to the correct unsbscribing email 
address, received the confirmation, however continued to receive 
(a lot of) emails from group members;
   2. I have sent 3 messages to the owner of this list - of course, 
I used the correct email address - and nothing happened.

WHAT SHOULD I DO TO REALLY UNSUBSCRIBE ?

Please, help !

Flamage creates even more list traffic.  Instead of stomping 

on the clueless, 
let's just tell them to send an (arbitrary) message to 
suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com.  They'll go away quietly and 

never be 
heard from again, which is, I assume, the desired outcome.
