i subscribed to one mailing list . i don't have a state of the art
computer and modem.
so i assume your solution is unsubscribe from the list that i want to get
so that i do not receive what i don't want.
yours sincerely

I started to reply to Paul directly but decided to "publically"

>From what I could see in the mail headers SEANOC was not sent
mail directly but the messages were posted to the lists in the
appropriate fashion. If anyone doesn't want mail that isn't
specifically directed at them or that doesn't relate to their
specific areas of interest, then this is really the wrong place
to do "research". I sift through several hundred messages a week
many (most sometimes) I delete without reading.
Also, I've discovered new pieces of information, and new
relatives through seeming unrelated mail and have contacted, and
been contacted by others who, although the mail was about
something else, have found connections through the "signatures".
I also find interesting stories from others even though they're
not related to me, right Vee :)
I've also found some good information/contacts from other lists
which were "advertised" on lists to which I subscribe.
So in summary!!!!
If you don't want to read unrelated mail, delete it.
If the quantity of unrelated mail is too much for you,
unsubscribe.
If you feel the need to play with fire (ie. flame), go have a
cookout.
Relax, Let's enjoy ourselves!
