Just below these paragraphs, you'll see two ads, then a line
that starts with "To unsubscribe...". Do that.
All, you know, there is an interesting technical communication
connection here. The process to unsubscribe is pretty
straightforward (see below). The process is also
documented in every message from the list, on the Web site
in multiple places, in the instructions that you received
when you subscribed, and in periodic administrative postings
to the list. That notwithstanding, I get at least two
messages every day asking how to do it. It does call into
question the overall efficacy of documentation in
general, doesn't it?
Not really grinching, as my form response takes about a second
to send, but definitely bemused by the irony,
Eric
