Hi All, What I find ironic and deplorable is that this entire discussion about how to unsubscribe from a mailing list is on a mailing list about Open Source.
How many of you people have actually worked on Open Source projects? Just about every Open Source source project I've ever seen has a mailing list or several. For developers, for users, for repository commits and so on. You learn very quickly how to subscribe, change your settings, unsubscribe, search the archives, etc. It's where decisions are being made, patches and bugs discussed and pretty much the lifeblood of the community. These people that just yell on this list "unscribe (sic) me!" would be damn near flamed on any real open source project. You're expected to do a little homework on your own to figure out how to do this. RTFM. STFW. How hard is it? Not everything is just handed to you when you're a member of an Open Source project. How ironic that we have exactly that case here on a mailing list about Open Source. How sad. Some things never change.
