I've run majordomo before, I hack sendmail here at the office, I think I
know what I'm doing. However WHENN I subscribed, I did so as blh@nol.net,
NOT blh@dazed.nol.net, so yes.. I got a little frustrated with the fact that
majordomo in its infinit crappiness, changed my subscribe address and made
it a nightmare to unsubscribe. I think you know very little about me, and
even less about what you're talking about. I was pleasant and nice for
almost 3 months before I got pissed off enough to yell at the list. I sent
email to majordomo-owner, root, admin, postmaster, and about a dozen other
addresses asking to be removed, nicely, it got me nowhere. You will now
however note, that I'm not on the list anymore, sometimes it just takes
being an asshole to get things done *shrug*.
