Try to follow this.
- You get an email inviting you to join an online discussion forum (on Yahoo Groups).
- You respond with an acceptance of this subscription.
- You get a lot more email than you expect.
At this point, any sane person would read that email that you get whenever you subscribe to a group, the one labeled “SAVE THIS EMAIL,” and find out how to stem the tide. Since you can read the title of this missive, you know that’s not what some folks are doing.
- You get mad at these people who are sending you email, so you reply to one with the screaming subject line, “REMOVE ME NOW!!!!!!” You probably have an AOL return address.
- When you are told that every email includes the unsubscription information, you don’t email that address to stop the mail.
- You email the person who tried to help you (not the moderator) to tell them you will sue them and Yahoo if they don’t fix your shit for you because you’re too stupid to read.
- When the helpful person responds that they can’t unsub you because they aren’t the moderator and that helpful person points you again to the address which will unsubscribe you, you get more irate and send more flames down the pipe.
Is this the behavior of people that should be allowed to use computers? I think not.
