LMAO, +10 points to Mathias Bauer for slamming that idot John Tyler in the most polite way I've ever seen. I can't believe there are instructions at the bottom of EVERY email, including the one generated by his message, on how to subscribe, and he's too stupid to follow those instructions. I mean, if you are reading this John, please don't' go killing yourself or anything, maybe you're just having a bad day. The instructions were: To unsubscribe send email to discuss-unsubscr...@openoffice.org But seriously, he came across as SUCH a douche, and Mathias, I've never seen such a polite ass woopin online before, that rocked,.. it made my day.

Besides that, this is not a matter of netiquette, it's a matter of how the mailing list software works. The ML software of OOo works as it works, and I know other project where it works in the same way. That doesn't mean that it is perfect, but OTOH it's easy to understand and you are told how it works in every mail you receive. Being able to read is a clear advantage that you shouldn't abandon. Nevertheless, in case you are unable to read or follow the advice in the mail footer for whatever reason, usually kind people would help to unsubscribe you in case you asked politely. In case you know what "polite" means. Maybe you don't understand what I have written above. So let me translate it into your "language": You showed a typical example of making a fool of yourself by choosing an inadequate communication style: why make it simple if you can fuck it up? I don't care who has registered in your name or with your account of how that has been done, I have a very poor opinion of you and that's that. Please apologize if my translation lacks the "elegance" of your own wording, my knowledge of your "language" is somewhat limited.
