Re: Flood the unsubscribers

["Bruce Paige" <kk5do@xxxxxxxxxx>]

this is asking people to spam others. i do not agree with it and 
believe that the best way to handle the problem is to use your gift 
of mail filtering. you can place the filter to delete any message 
with subscribe or unsubscribe in it and be done.

it should be treated the same way you treat unwanted mail about get 
rich quick schemes and sexually orientated matter. gosh it's so 
simple and avoids these lengthy discussions about why it shouldn't be 
done.
