u-n-s-u-b-s-c-r-i-b-e

[P3D <pzuijlekom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

We have all seen, the last couple of weeks,
how difficult it is to 'u-n-s-u-b-s-c-r-i-b-e'.
First you have to practise 'reading' which is not given free
to all of us. Then you have to, either

- Go to the bottom of one of the last 70 or so digests
  to find out what exactly the instructions are.
  How difficult which one to choose . . . Only 70 . . .

or

- Do a search on the archives which only gives a humble
  259 hits on 'u-n-s-u-b-s-c-r-i-b-e'.
  How can they blame you when there is only 259 occurences
  out of more than 700 digests ? It's not your fault that
  the right instructions are not repeated often enough !
  It's even hard to find in the instructions you get, when
  you s-u-b-s-c-r-i-b-e first time. You have to keep them
  for future (?) use. What a nuisance !

Then you have to go through the hassle of exactly finding
the only wrong combination of Internet address and the
'u-n-s-u-b-instruction'.
And finally, there you are, admired by more than 1000 list-
members ! This was YOUR contribution !

At least, people have the chance to reread a whole digest !
Wow, that's a good way to stomp all that difficult 3D stuff
into our grey cells ! THANX !

Alas, it was your only contribution. You will be remembered.

[  See how clever I do not mention the 'unspoken' word ?  ]
[I don't want to be trapped by our intelligent list server]
[  It happened once. I don't want it happen again. It was ]
[                  not my fault. Honest !                 ]

[  See how difficult it is to keep my line-length within  ]
[ 60 or so characters ? It makes them even readable when  ]
[     you give your comments ! Now, that makes sense !    ]
