My God woman! - learn how to unsubscribe from a list!

When you write to a computer like you are talking to a person you WILL get a
response of:
"Unknown command - "????? etc". Try HELP."  FOR EACH inane command you give
it.

Use the simple command language you were provided and send the proper
request!!!

Sorry, not in the mood for these kinds of emails in my mail box today.
Listservs have been running for AT LEAST 10 years now and we still get "help
me unsubscribe" requests on any list you belong to.

My advice is don't subscribe to anything on the web if you can't read and
understand instructions!

Sigh

When you subscribed to the list, you received a wellcome message (I'm
copying it below) with instructions. As you can see, the message said
"Please save this message for future reference [...]. If you ever need
to leave the list, you will find the necessary instructions below".

It is evident that you did NOT keep the message.

Alright, just send a message to [hidden email] with the
following words in the body of the message: SIGNOFF SPSSX-L

Don't add anything else (your name, a title for the message...).

It should work. If it doesn't, go the listserv web page and
unsubscribe there:

*******************************

Your  subscription to  the SPSSX-L  list (SPSSX(r)  Discussion) has  been
accepted.

Please save this message for future  reference, especially if this is the
first time you are subscribing to an electronic mailing list. If you ever
need to leave  the list, you will find the  necessary instructions below.
Perhaps  more importantly,  saving a  copy of  this message  (and of  all
future subscription notices  from other mailing lists) in  a special mail
folder will give you instant access to the list of mailing lists that you
are subscribed  to. This may  prove very useful the  next time you  go on
vacation and  need to leave  the lists temporarily so  as not to  fill up
your  mailbox while  you  are away!  You should  also  save the  "welcome
messages" from the  list owners that you will  occasionally receive after
subscribing to a new list.

To send  a message to  all the people  currently subscribed to  the list,
just send mail to [hidden email].  This is called "sending mail
to the  list," because  you send  mail to a  single address  and LISTSERV
makes  copies  for all  the  people  who  have subscribed.  This  address
([hidden email]) is  also called  the "list address."  You must
never send a command  to that address, as it would  be distributed to all
the  people  who have  subscribed.  All  commands  must  be sent  to  the
"LISTSERV *server* address," [hidden email].

You may leave the list at any time by sending a "SIGNOFF SPSSX-L" command
to [hidden email].

Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can get a
list of the available archive files by sending an "INDEX SPSSX-L" command
to [hidden email]. You can then  order these files with a "GET
SPSSX-L LOGxxxx" command, or using LISTSERV's database search facilities.
Send an "INFO DATABASE" command for more information on the latter.

This  list is  available  in digest  form.  If you  wish  to receive  the
digested  version  of the  postings,  just  issue  a SET  SPSSX-L  DIGEST
command.

More  information on  LISTSERV  commands  can be  found  in the  LISTSERV
reference  card, which  you can  retrieve  by sending  an "INFO  REFCARD"
command to [hidden email].

Carolyn,
it seems clear enough to me. As I explained to you before, you should be very strict about ritual here. Write EXACTLY these words (and only these) in the body of your message:

UNSUBSCRIBE SPSSX-L  Carolyn Halbert M.A., M.P.H.

Do not sign the message, nor add any courtesies. Just the sacred words. Be careful that the scriptural line does not include any other strange sign like < or >. The List Server does not like liturgical innovators.

Hector

Yesterday I sent a reply to this message that was very rude - I would like
to apologize to the list and to Carolyn Hambert. I apologize for being very
intolerant and taking my bad day out on you.
