Well now, isn;t THIS polite :]

You signed up for this list, Benny boy. You recieved instructions on how
to unsubscribe from the list at that time. Guess someone should have paid
a little more attention, eh?

I WILL answer your question in a moment, if for no other reason than I
don;t really want to see a dozen more posts from you whining about getting
off the list (And this goes public for anyone else who wants to behave the
same way when they unsubscribe).

But first, listen up!

Grow the hell up! Geez, would it have been so much more difficult to write
a single mail to the list politely asking for the unsub instructions, since
you apparently lost them? Or privately e-mailing myself or whoever your
post was originally in response to (i.e. Lord Torgo Second Run) and asking
us if we could help?

I was SOOOOO tempted to just delete your message and let you suffer, since
this list and the little amount of mail that goes through here is so much
of a burden for you. Or, I thought about flaming you and telling you to
figure it out yourself, but I figured either route would make me as bad as
you, if no worse, AND I'd have another couple dozen posts in my box from
you, whining about how you want off the poor little list.

The fact of the matter is, this is a Listserv mailing list. There are only
4 people on this list that actually have the abilitty to unsubscribe you
from the list. 3 are our list admins, the other is yourself. And standard
practice ona mailing list is that you unsub yourself.

Grow up and try to at least act a little mature. I used to beat up little
punks with an attitude like that in High School, and I don;t want to put up
with whiny little children on these lists, since THIS is what I do for my
leisure.

Now, here's the instructions:

Send an e-mail to LISTSERV@********.ITRIBE.NET
with the message SIGNOFF SRCARD

Get off the list and don;t come back, moron.

PS: If you really feel the need to respond, do so privately at
chaos@*****.com. I'll be at Gen Con until next Tuesday, I'll deal with
anything you have to respon then.
