List, I have responded privately to Miriam. Please do not respond to her(?) or to the list on this. In the future if any of you (or anyone reading this in the archives) is having troubles unsubscribing by following the directions on the bottom of the emails, the website (learn.perl.org), and the FAQ, please send a *nice* email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with your troubles. Yelling to over 2000 people will not help, and will be archived forever for everyone to see your tantrum :) Consider this thread (before it becomes one) closed, and please be smart and not respond to Miriam with flames and such. Thanks folks. Cheers, Kevin On Tue, Aug 21, 2001 at 07:33:15PM +0200, Miriam Hadary ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) spew-ed forth: > DEAR EVERYONE, > > I HAVE REALLY TRIED TO GET OFF THIS FORUM BUT TO NO AVAIL.
