[Dev-C++] Re:One more time

[Carlos d. M. <cg...@wo...>]

I guess that many unsubscribe me messages are due to that people who
wants to unsubscribe:
a) Don't read completely the page of subscription
b) Don't read the unsubscribe me messages and the answers to them
c) Don't go tho the mailing-list subscription page because:
d) They assume before having proved it, that it works exactly the same
than many other lists I saw in the past: they say for unsubscription
send a message to the list with the subject "unsubscribe me", I don't
remember any of those lists I saw with such a way for unsubscribe (and
the lists I saw from some time ago to today are just the same way than
this), because that the next message I will send. It seems that they
have mechanisms so when they receive a message with that subject
automatically makes what must be done for unsubscription of the sender.
But what about password security in that? I think the method of this
list, do it yourself, is much better than that.

Then the new
big-white-subscribtion-page-with-fake-agreement-that-annoys-you-with-javasc=
ript-dialogs-if-you-really-havent-read-the-page should be quite effective.

The best solution would be that someone would become a member of the
list after passing some exam. :)) I would recommend as subject to write
some kind of hello world in C or C++ and a mailing list unsubscription
test (using all the available methods under various scenarios, like
using an unknown password, making the unsubscription with a turned off
monitor etc). Only then we would be finally calm.



Of course it's a joke.

Why not make the test be just a confirmation that proves they know how to
unsubscribe?

If that doesn't do it, I can't really imagine what will.

> making the unsubscription with a turned off monitor

LOL, I don't think even the admins would've passed that. No, a better thing
to do would be to send a weekly e-mail to the list titled "Free beer" or
something, with unsubscribe instructions like this:

Step 1: Open your browser (refer to Appendix A)
Step 2: Go to this website (refer to Appendix B)
Step 3: Enter your whatever (refer to Appendix C for details on using the
keyboard, Appendix D for your name)

In the process, you can get them so wrapped up in 'how to do it', rather
than 'what to do', and maybe get them to format their drives or paint their
face white or something.

I'm not really sure that it's a joke.

Then people will assume it's spam. We all hate spam don't we? (death to
spam!)

RE: [Dev-C++] Re:One more time

Or perhaps we could adopt a Buddhist-influenced approach:

"You are already naturally and perfectly unsubscribed within, and need only
awaken to the clarity of this truth."

From the book of Dzogchen: the natural great unsubscription

"To unsubscribe, you must first be able to defeat the subscription
within."

[Priya G. <pri...@ya...>]

Now I think this is turning in to a spam. Please
refrain from sending such emails.

Thanks,

No offense is intended. My post was the result of a combination of factors.

First, I felt a little humor was in order.

Second, I had just enjoyed a very nice session of Dzogchen practice and saw
the whole matter from a larger (and lighter) perspective.

Ok, people just keep in mind to not make jokes around specific religions
because we are a global community here and there are people from around
the globe.


The only exception is jokes about Java.
