Thank you Neville, And on that closing note perhaps we can drop this and spend our energies elsewhere with EATAW-related matters. I was away from the list for all of 6 hours and missed the original posts from members requesting to be unsubscribed. Apologies that this recent exchange took up our time in that interval. Thank you John for sending the unsubscribe information for the list members who might need it. /Magnus ----------- Magnus Gustafsson Chalmers University of Technology Department of Applied IT Division for Language and Communication SE-412 96 GÖTEBORG +46 31 772 5815 +46 709 68 79 82 [log in to unmask] From: "Neville P.L." <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Reply-To: "Neville P.L." <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Date: Wed, Aug 8, 2012 2:59 PM To: "[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>" <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Subject: Re: Unsubscribe yourself! (don't delete this e-mail!) I am afraid I am very surprised to find that fellow professionals do not understand how easy it is to go from a slight annoyance to “nuclear war” in on easy step in email exchanges, given its lack of contextual clues, its face to face characteristics without the redeeming features and knowledge of the “speaker”. So for goodness sake, just climb back to an even keel ....

I would spare a thought for you, if I wasn't so bloody annoyed that you have disturbed my work time with your pettiness. You clearly have never managed an eMail list. My sympathy goes wholeheartedly to John Harbord who, all of us 'amateur' EATAW subscribers think, is doing a spiffing job! cheers, alex On 8 August 2012 22:25, Parkes, Simon <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> wrote: Thank you for the tirade and the clarification that EATAW is 'an amateur organisation.'

(don't delete this e-mail!) Dear (reluctant) EATAW members, If you no longer wish to be a part of EATAW or its listserv, please remember that we are an amateur organisation and we do not employ anyone to manage your subscription for you. When you subscribe to a list (any list), the thing to do is to keep the welcome e-mail you receive because it contains information about unsubscribing. If regrettably you have lost that e-mail, the thing not to do is to spam everyone on the list in the hope that someone will be so kind as to do your job for you. Because they won't. Instead they will write back and tell you what an inconsiderate and technically illiterate person you are. Here is how to unsubscribe: Go to https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=EATAW&A=1 and follow the instructions. There you have it. One easy step. Enjoy, John >>> Benson Babu <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> 8/8/12 11:50 >>> Please unsubscribe me from the list. Thanks ! Benson A.
