RE: Re: How to get off the Long Island list

[Guest guest]

Why would it work for me and not others if there’s an ongoing

problem with the software?

The automated program running that list, called ezlm, is

definitely working. It certainly was earlier tonight when I signed off.

The owner of the list is no longer the owner of the list, I was

told (by Gay). But no one else has taken it over (or shut it down). Yet.

I neglected to mention that if a person is getting the digest

version, you need to use this address to sign off: SCD-list-digest-subscribe@...

Hi n,

The problem is is that some users even after following these steps cannot

disconnect from the Listerve due to there being a problem with the software on

the list's side.

Marilyn is doing her best handling this situation which has become super

frustrating as some are directing negativity and anger towards her. Which is so

uncalled for. Marilyn cannot manually do all of this- that is ridiculous to

even consider, as it is she puts in an incredible amount of time helping all of

us. Anyway, she is not even the owner of the list. Makes me sick just thinking of

how she feels being put in this position.

The owner of the list is going through some trying times personally so the list

is not on her top priority right now which I completely understand especially

when users become nasty.

The next suggestion if users cannot disconnect was that people put a spam

filter on the list so all of the emails will go directly into a spam folder and

get automatically deleted, that way users that want to unsubscribe and can't

don't have to be bothered with emails from the list. And Marilyn and Gay don't

have to keep telling people over and over again what to do.

This turned out to also be unsatisfactory.

I think this is a difficult situation and we all have to do our best to make

the best of it. We are dealing with many details out of Marilyn's or anyones

control. There are also many many sick people and to be subjected to this

non-sense is pathetic.

I thank you for posting the directions here and if you have any ideas please

share.

Jodi

Turet still owns the list, but due to health issues that have

nothing to do with her cured UC, she has been unable to participate on

the Long Island List. That is why I opened this list, so that SCDers

would have a place to gather and share information and support.

was told that the SCD-list@... list server had been

sold and that the list would be shut down.

For whatever reason, it continues to function... which I am pleased for,

since it is mentioned in every copy of BTVC.

I continue to help out over there because it was my original SCD

home.

But running it did not come with an operating manual!

So I'm very glad that you tinkered around, n, and discovered what

the missing step was.

Lordee, I hate it when computers do what we tell them to instead of what

we mean for them to do!

No problem. I’m just glad it worked.

Yeah,

isn’t it amazing how they insist on doing that?!
