RE: [SLE] SPAM: unsubscribe
Well, what do you know?

If you have the patience to learn about a 'hands-on' OS like Linux you probably want to figure out how to unsubscribe from a Linux list also.

I disagree there. I have quite a few friends who want to venture into this cool world of Linux, that are complete computer illiterates. Their idea of a computer is a gameconsole with web, hotmail and chat possibilities. I dont even trust them to be able to successfully install any kind of software aside from the viruses they get infested with just cause "'firewall' and 'antivirus' are two very complicated issues not understood by 'mere mortals'"... "Header? Thats the From/To and Subject line right?" So not "knowing how to" has nothing to do with "lazyness" -- /Rikard ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- email : rikard.j@rikjoh.com web : http://www.rikjoh.com mob: : +46 (0)763 19 76 25 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 >

They are considered lazy if they won't click on the pull downs or even look on their own. If they are that illiterate then I don't know how they managed to subscribe in the first place. The better question that should have been asked is: "I am having problems understanding how to unsubscribe from this list, can anyone assist me." Then they would have received all the help they need. Someone could have even done it for them and all they would have to do is reply to the confirmation email. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

aoler's, don't know how or why they got here, didn't keep or read their welcome message which explains it, don't know a header from a footer. Well, best just step up and help them. They are the *comming* hoard, migratting from windoz, and most of them will be dependent on suse.list.member.welfare. We *will* become a welfare state. The new state: They don't want to know anything, they just want to use it.
