Dear Ken
Yes, please - everybody stay on the group.
strange double messages - must be the season of ambiguity.
Just a little poddy calf with crumpled head bumps.
cheers

Friends,
Earlier today, someone tried to unsub from the list by posting a note asking, "Please unsub me." Every now and then, when this happens, I post information to the list explain how to unsub. That's also the process for subbing or changing modes. I sent such a note.
For some reason, the note did not go through, so I sent it to list owner Keith Russell. He posted it. It did not get through, but I started receiving messages to say that my messages could not be delivered. Then Keith's post got through. Then my note got through in two versions. Altogether, after several hours delay since the original post, you will have received three messages telling you how to unsub.
Right after that, I got an email from someone saying that they had apparently received a message that they read as an instruction telling them to leave the list.
This is news to me ... no one intended to ask anyone to leave the list. This was an information bulletin telling those who wished to leave how to do so. Everyone is welcome.
I attribute this to the fact that there was an immense hailstorm in Melbourne. I imagine a Design Research Moses appearing before Pharaoh, saying "Let my subscribers go." Pharaoh naturally declined. Frogs will be arriving soon.
Keith is carrying those tablets down from the mountain even as I inscribe these words on my keyboard. Now you know why we think of him as a guy with a kindly white beard. A radiant beard. And don't forget those rays of light shining from his forehead. But Keith is not the Horned Moses.
"In majesty he is like a firstborn bull;
his horns are the horns of a wild ox.
With them he will gore the nations,
even those at the ends of the earth.
Such are the ten thousands of Ephraim;
such are the thousands of Manasseh."
-- Deuteronomy 33:17
While you unravel the hermeneutic riddle, keep your subscription active. PhD-Design only gets better in a hail storm.
Yours,
Ken Friedman
