Why do people keep sending off-topic stuff to a mailinglist? ---------- Afzender: Ole Kofoed Hansen Aan: suse-linux-e@suse.com Onderwerp: [SuSE Linux] Why cant people on mailing lists read?

I have never heard of any list, where you unsubscribed by sending to the list itself. Additionally, I have never heard of any list, where new subscribers did not get an e-mail with instructions on how to unsubscribe. And especially on this list, where every mail includes unsubscribe info, the only explanation for the many "unsubscribe", "remove" and the like _must_ be that the people sending them simply _can_not_read_! My question then is: If they can't read in the first place, WHY do they subscribe?

900f vision is in the visual cortex, people see what they want, and expect. When they want to unsubscribe, they are already frustrated, and "want it to be difficult". Human's are just one step above monkeys, what do you expect? - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
