John,

I'm one of the moderators of this list and I have been unsubscribing a couple of subscribers like Lynn in recent months. I don't share your POV regarding the size of the issue, it just happened twice this week but it doesn't happen every week.

Anyway, one theory that we have already been discussing many years ago within the old OOo community is that these kinds of users enter a subscription with a fraudulent provider of OpenOffice that offer them 'support' and managing somehow to get these users subscribed to our mailing list. I have been trying to confirm this theory with some persons I had unsubscribed in the past but they were never willing to discuss so far. So, what should I do?

One thing seems clear, this is certainly no technical issue that can be easilty investigated in.

Best regards,
Peter

using her email address. How did she get subscribed to the list???? This
has happened quite a few times and it's supposed to be that In order to
be subscribe one must reply to an email from the list. That doesn't
appear to true in this case or others I've looked in to.  Someone should
find out how this happened and make sure it doesn't happen again.

     Every day I get about 10 emails concerning how to work Open
Office.  Every day I get rid of them by putting them in junk, but the
next day I'll get about ten more.  I don't think they are people trying
to contact Apache Open Office, but the old Open Office - now defunct. Is
there any way you can t…
