so please stop sending me mail
[I really shouldn't... But I can't help it!]
"Why in my days, we used to get maybe 50 or 60 posts an hour!
Then I was dumb enough to subscribe to a SECOND mailing list! We had to
go find those ancient copies of the welcome message, printed on a 9-pin
lineprinter with a bad blue ribbon and try to decipher the commands to
unsubscribe.
"Back then we tried to unsubscribe with cutsey little messages,
like 'Ranma's gotten hit by Akane one to many times, so stop it,' or
'Priss wants to knuckleblaster the mailer.' And BROTHER, did I get
flames for that one! Every Priss fan in the world must've told me to go
to Bubblegum Crash, 'cause Priss doesn't use that toy knuckleduster, or
whatever the heck that thing is. Hey, it didn't do Irene any good,
here me?
Nowadays, you kids just gotta send one message to the right guy
and it all gets done. You don't even need a message, just a subject!
One message to 'fanfic-request@fanfic.com' with a subject of
'unsubscribe' and you're outta here! I tell you, it's not healthy, the
ease you kids got it with all these buttons and windows, and busters,
and ALL those fansubbers..."
