STOP SENDING ME MAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[James Harbeck]

I'm beginning to get the impression that the uns*bscribe feature, as
listed at
http://www.americandialect.org/index.php/amerdial/ads_l_the_american_dialect_society_email_discussion_list/
(wherein one sends  " S I G N O F F   A D S - L " as the complete
body of an email message from the account which one would like to
unsubscribe, to istserv at listserv.uga.edu), may not be working
properly. [I've altered the commands above so that the listserv won't
bounce my email as it did the first time.]

I'm also thinking that Mr. Lynch has a sticky exclamation mark key. Or finger.

By the way, has anyone else gotten emails from a Doreen Baylus asking
them to take her off their list? She's emailed me out of the blue
asking me rather curtly to take her off my email list and stop
sending her emails, but I don't own or operate any such lists and
never sent her an email in my life (not knowing her until a few days
ago). I tried sending her an explanation that it was either an email
list she was subscribed to or someone was spoofing (now there's a
recently added meaning for an old word -- I first saw it just a few
years ago referring to falsifying a sender address) my email address,
but she simply sent me back an email saying that the emails she had
received have my address in the from line and I should stop sending
them to her.
