Re: Regular administrative posting

[Nick Coury <photoman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have tried every way I can think of to take myself off of the list.  I
have noticed at times that you get a little "put out" because people can't
follow the "simple" directions from these postings.  Since many of us have
problems, could it be that these are not quite as simple as you make them
out to be?  I am not by any stretch a computer genius, but I would love the
luxury of being able to get off and on this list according to my schedule,
unfortunately I can't seem to make that happen.

So, I must take this route to ask you to please...UNSUBSCRIBE INFRARED
PHOTOGRAPHY.

My message has bounced back every time I've sent it, with many variations of
list sender...thanks for an enjoyable service, and if I can more easily get
off and on, I will be back.  Please e-mail me if that happens.

Thanks you,

Nick
