It's far more of a nuisance to wade thru a thread whose subject is of interest, only to find innumberble OT posts. It's called nettiquette. And oddly enough *this* situation comes up regularly as well. (And I'm not even going to *touch* the issue of top v bottom posting . . ) > the thread name is the same I can conveniently delete or ignore it. Yes you can - because *you* know the content isn't worth your time. The rest of us do not. > With a million and one bracketed name changes the number of messages > just grows (which is why I'm not changing this thread title, even > though I'm sure you'd want me to).

Call me odd, but if I unsubscribed from a an email list, I'd likely ignore and/or auto-delete anything from there from that point forward. The chances of her reading a response sent directly, with the subject of "Unsubscribing", would have a greater chance of being read - and, thus, acted upon - compared to one from the list labelled "Buying Memory". That was the idea, correct? To help this member with a difficulty? As well, it avoided cluttering up this list. Initially. Obviously *more* clutter has ensued. Oh well. At least no one will think we're talking about where to get a good deal on RAM (though I still remain very interested in that!) Cheers! > On 1/24/06, Frank P.
