That's not very good advice, since the vast majority of the readers of
the list are powerless to do anything about it. Mail to
[email protected] should go to the list maintainers,
so that's a better place to send the mail. Annoying the rest of the list
doesn't accomplish anything (except maybe cause us to put more pressure
on Jay et al. to fix it . . . but if he/they aren't responding to email,
it's probably because they're busy elsewhere, and not because they're
ignoring the mail. So filling up their mailboxes with more requests that
aren't getting read doesn't seem likely to fix anything either...)
I've seen a hell of a lot of requests like this sent to the list, which
would seem to suggest that there's something wrong with the automatic
removal process. Either it doesn't work, or doesn't work reliably, or the
directions aren't clear enough - or else everyone who can't use it just
can't follow directions in general, doesn't know where to get the directions,
or is too lazy to bother trying. We can't do much about laziness or inability
to follow directions, but any of the other options should be repairable . . .
