I think that is what
the weekly reminder, which is not very long, is meant to be. But the recent
problem seems to be that the reminder uses an older version of address which
some but not all said work for them. It didn't work for me, That's why I posted
another address that should work.
Also, Gord has
setup/modified the system again so I can now unsubscribe people when situation
needed, so I would like mention a few things:
1. I only use the
unsubscribe privilege for emergency situation, like if someone setup an
autoreply that is causing problem to the list.
2. I don't
unsubscribe people if they send an "unsubscribe" message to the list because I
don't know whether they truly want to unsubscribe or if they are just making a
statement. If someone really wants to unsubscribe but encounters problem, s/he
should contact me directly. Then I will unsubscribe.
3. I don't
unsubscribe anyone for arguments, debates, even if heated. That I leave to the
decision of Gord or decision of listminders as a whole. This is a guideline that
I set for myself so that I won't use the privilige in any biased way (that is, I
won't unsubscribe you even if I strongly disagree with you or have a strong
argument with you because I think in an argument it is always hard to determine
who is righter, wronger, who said inappropriate words, who didn't say but imply
such, etc. etc.). :-)

It is my
present belief after seeing so many people not knowing how to un-subscribe
that, issued once, say, every two weeks, Gord should put out a very
simplified, just a few words, info email to all saying how to do it. I don't
wish to appear to be rude, yet some times I simply wonder where curiosity
takes people.
