Subject:  Re: Member list restored.... (please read)

Dear Mike,

I was resubscribed twice--once under my current address and once under my
old
address.  The current address is: xxxxxx@wright.edu.  The OLD
address
is xxxxxx@wright.edu.  I don't think I can unsubscribe the latter because
my
e-mail coming to the server only has my NEW address on it.  Perhaps there
is a
way to do this manually.

Incidentally, the last paragraph of the two "canellation notices" I
received
was strange.  I assume the notice was "canned" in the listserve software
being
used but it should probably be edited out if possible.

In case you haven't seen it, the text is as follows:

DO NOT LET TECHNICAL PEOPLE CONVINCE YOU THAT THIS IS NORMAL. It is never
normal for a mail system to claim  that a valid, working account does not
exist, just as it would not be  normal for the post office to return some
of  your mail  with  "addressee  unknown" when  the  address was  written
correctly.  It is  true that  some mail  systems are  less reliable  than
others, and your technical people may be doing the best they can with the
tools  they have.  But, ultimately,  the level  of service  that you  are
receiving is the result of a  business decision, and not something due to
a universal technical limitation that  one can only accept. Reliable mail
systems do exist, and  it is ultimately up to you  to decide whether this
level of service is acceptable or not.

--Bill
