Please do your work yourself, else nothing will change. See header & footer of every list posting. Do your own subscription changes yourself via the free robot: http://berklix.org/robot/ Example Mail: To: majordomo@berklix.org unsubscribe ski moved_away@desert.com unsubscribe walk unsubscribe bg-announce j.smith@old-company.com subscribe bg-announce "John Smith" subscribe walk "John Smith" lists help Tip: http://www.berklix.org/robot/majordomo/#mailer Best set your mailer to send [just] plain ASCII text to robot. If the robot does not do what you want first time, think about the response from the robot, learn, & modify your instructions to the robot. The robot never makes a mistake, humans who bother to actually Think & analyse responses from robot, learn within a few goes how to order the robot to do what they want.. If you get stuck: http://www.berklix.org/robot/majordomo/help.html#stuck - Too Dumb to learn ? Don't believe it of yourself ! It's claimed & disproved too often ;-) Try several times more, record your commands & results, think each time & analyse. Usually that ends up in success, making the person prove to him/her self he/she is brighter than he/she thought. The robot is simple, if you bother to _think_. - Too lazy to learn ? Your problem. Pay the Red Cross a donation, forward the scanned receipt & we may donate our time free to help you. - You claim the robot doesn't work properly ? Such claims have often been made, & always been false, usually the human is too lazy to document the claim. It's a mature well tested robot. It's always been human error, often lazy human, not thinking. If You Think You Are Entitled To Demand Work Free Of Charge: Wrong ! You received free service while you wanted to be on list[s]. You were not advertised at. Your name was not sold to anyone, You did not pay for free service. No one else paid us to serve you. We gained no benefit from you on list. We incurred costs & trouble, & spent time, providing the free service. We still provide the free robot service to [un]subscribe We owe you Nothing. By now you owe us: - Not to waste our time. - To take the time to learn to do your [un]subscribe work. We have no free time to waste. Use the free robot. Every list posting header & footer tells how to. Try. Think. Learn. Repeat. If You Are Tempted To Bitch : It will only harm you, parading yourself as lazy & foolish & mea. It will not get you what you want, so don't waste your time & ours, instead spend that time learning to use the free robot. It's now recognised: ~Better to force people to learn to fish, & let them tell others how to fish, than to fish for all those too lazy to fish.~ Why we gave up wasting our time helping individuals free of charge: We long ago had to abandon the model of working free of charge, servicing hundreds of people's personal subscription wishes, because ever more people then requested more changes, & the word went round to friends of friends: "Don't bother to think or learn, just be another dumb pain in the anus to the list owner - It's so much easier to get abusive & remain stupid, than bother to use brain & Learn" Hence even if it might be less work for us to unsubscribe you manually, we will not do it. We do not owe you, you us the time to go learn to use the robot ! For Non Technologists: Each week Non technologists use the robot succesfully, its not hard. You just need to Think, try it a few times. For logical thinking proefessionals, eg computer programmers & consultants / engineers / scientists etc, Especially you folk should not complain, ( or do you want to expose yourself as incompetent & more clueless than non technolgists who use the robot succesfully. For Busy Professionals WHo Don't Have Time To Learn: This majordomo-owner & list-owner is _also_ a busy professional & _also_ has no time for you, so either go learn the free robot, or if you are too lazy or incompetent, pay someone to drive your email for you.
