You've sent 50 emails to [email]beginners-unsubscribe@perl.org[/email]?

I get no spam from this list ever, maybe it's coming
from someone who harvested your email address from a web site or something?

> I will now report all mail sent to me by you as SPAM....................

What are the headers and ip addresses, I doubt it's coming from the
real beginners list or else I'd have gotton spam also since I've
subscribed for a while now.

> Stop sending me spam.

I never have and the list hasn't either. It's got to be a harvesting
bot, virus, etc... Maybe your IncrediMail or Kazaa or somethgin has spyware in it?

What a fun thread, I wanted to go off in my usual flare but didn't :(
Maybe next time :)

Uhhh...at the bottom of every list message is:

--
To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email]beginners-unsubscribe@perl.org[/email]
For additional commands, e-mail: [email]beginners-help@perl.org[/email]
<http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>

After being part of this list for a month, I don't recall seeing more than just this email requesting removal from the list.

Oh well. An amusing message. I see them all the time in the Linux mail lists I participate in. Pity people can't follow directions :-)

For the sake of:

* giving the guy a break.
* expecting some intellect.
* realizing he's probably
not reading your responses.

Notice he didn't say whether he requested to the list, or to the
proper email unsubscribe address: just that he had requested multiple
times to be removed. The flip side of the coin is that there may
very well be a problem with the unsubscription scripts.

Yes, this is a far-flung possibility, but besides courtesy in
the face of idiocy, one of the things ANY beginner to ANY thing
should know is to think things through from ALL angles: just
because the answer seems obvious, doesn't mean it is.

Be careful what you wish for.

If everyone could follow directions we would be one
step closer to everyone being able to *write* directions.
Then I would have to become one of those really exceptional
programmers instead of just the average one I am today. :)

Please tell me this thread will stay in the archives! It's hilarious!

I feel kinda bad for Mr. Kapp though, but if you're rude for no good
reason what can you expect.

It was Wednesday, January 07, 2004 when Dan Muey took the soap box, saying:
: Please tell me this thread will stay in the archives! It's hilarious!
:

Well, around these parts we don't *expect* rudeness in return. I
believe that rudeness must conform to the "all things in moderation"
rule whenever it cannot be helped, which /should/ never happen. :-)

For the record the archives don't lie, the thread will be there.
That's precisely why rudeness must be kept in check.

I think now is a good time to stop this thread. Everything that
should have been said has been, as well as some things that shouldn't
have. :-)

Hi Casey,

I think there is one point that I have not seen presented here. Unfortunately,
many *real* spammers abuse the courtesy [or legal requirement?] of unsubscribe
information, and actually use it as a probe to detect live addresses. At least
many people believe that this is so. Some people may fear that they would only
get enmeshed more deeply by using the unsubscribe link.

Thanks for re-asserting the standards of kindness for the list.

Joseph
