Why is it necessary for one of us to hand-massage individual cases? Does it satisfy a hidden social need to do so? Blogs to which I subscribe generally have a link at the bottom of each message saying "To unsubscribe, click _here_". No muss, no fuss. Why is that inadequate? In the case of a mailing list, there are two alternatives of subscribtion, message by message, or the digest. Suppose that the link would open a browser to a page on an LO site, that asks the simple question "Message by message, or digest". The fellow can check the right box, the system sends him the usual confirmation message, and it's over. If , instead of two possibilities, there are four or even thirty (as a user from some other galaxy noted), then there can be four or thirty checkboxes on the web page. I don't see why this is even an issue to be debated. If there has been a change of the instruction recently, I have not detected it. Since the method is as it was, any change can only have been trivial/ -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
