... and a lot more people have said similar things several times.

I am getting more spam from the Third Order than from all the viagra and 
pirate software vendors put together! Perhaps we need one list for 
studies and a separate list for talking about the studies list and how to 
jump off it :-)

Maybe, with hindsight, there needs to be a clearer way of giving 
unsubscription instructions, or maybe people just need to learn how to 
use their "Reply" facility properly <grin>.

Either way, I received seven emails from the list this morning from just 
three people and none was about study but all about being fed up with 
the list. May I humbly suggest that BRIEF AND CLEAR unsubscription 
instructions should be appended as a footer to every mail message, 
please. (Then we just need to persuade people to read to the bottom of 
messages, not easy if we use the defaults of Outlook Express and 
routinely send copies of the last nineteen or so messages in a thread.)

Just an idea, before this project drowns in its own waste matter, which 
would be a pity.

Yours,

Mark
