Yes, it does matter, as I'm trying to setup a home network, and am having trouble with sorting out the cable ISP connections- and it's going to take awhile to complete the house wiring. I need my old dialup ISP and email as a backup, until I get the new setup successfully configured. That's why I tried to unsubscribe to the list on the old ISP, twice- unsuccessfully. I'm simply asking how that can be accomplished, other than how the gentoo list page says to do it- it doesn't work for me- they keep sending list emails to my old and unsubscribed address, filling up the inbox. In any case, surely you're not trying to tell me I shouldn't have more than one ISP and email accounts on both at the same time? If there's any wasting of bandwidth on the lists part, it's their fault, not mine- I've tried to unsubscribe, using their instructions (now multiple times). > > On Wed, 2005-02-02 at 19:52 -0500, Robert Crawford wrote: > > When I upgraded to cable, I tried to unsubscribe from my old account, > > which I did twice exactly like the list home page instructed.
