There seems to be a little confusion...

---

Renewal notices are sent to EVERYONE when their time for renewal comes
up, whether you are set nomail or not. the software cannot currently
determine who is nomail and not nomail when it checks expiration dates.

It also provides a way to those who want to sign off, but can't for some
reason, but who are too nervous to ask me to do it for them, to get off.

Sorry if it is a hassle, just confirm your subscription and get on with
life. It only happens 4 or 6 times a year per list.

-----

Also, I have raised the time limit on confirming your subscription from
seven days to 14. This shoudl allow more time for when people are away
on vacation. Note, though, to go any higher ( like to 21 or 28) would be
bad and would pretyt much defeat the purpose.

If you still are unable to confirm in the two-week allowance you have,
you will just have to sign up again.

Mr Hayden,

I`d like my address in the list to be set to nomail, cause I don't have
time to read thru the FAQ, so this flood of messages doesn't make any sense
to me. If you can do this, please explain me in short how to resume the
subscription.

BTW, is that FAQ document the only manual on ShadowTalk. If no, I should
have missed something.

Thanx
Igor

I've tried to unsubscribe. N [28~o joy.

This system goes down this evening. I don't know how the mail is gonna be
handled.

If it bounces, don't give me grief. I did my best.
