Sorry about the multiple copies of the email address below. That's

confusing.

You need to send your initial email to: SCD-list-unsubscribe@...

How to get off the Long Island list

I'm posting this here because most of you who are still signed onto the

Long Island list are also here. And I've already signed off that list,

so I couldn't post this to that list. For anybody here who not on that

list, just ignore this email!

You can get off the Long Island list by doing this:

Send an empty email to: <mailto:SCD-list-unsubscribe@...

>

SCD-list-unsubscribe@...

(click on that link and it

should open an email with that address in the " To " field).

After some seconds, or a minute, check your mail (or your spam/junk

folder).

You should find an email there asking you to confirm that you want to

unsubscribe. Click on the confirming link in that email. In a moment

you'll get an email saying you're unsubscribed.

Voila!

n,

So, you're saying you just successfully signed of the Long Island List?

That the problem is that the directions I was given, that are posted at

the end of every message on that list, are incomplete by one

step?

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.

Hi n,

I am happy you were able to unsubscribe.

Just because you could it doesn't mean this applies to everyone as perhaps as

you suggested people aren't doing it properly to having a bug in the software

that is only affecting certain types of email clients etc. There could be so

many reasons.
