Since I subscribe to debian-user not the digest, I wasn't aware of that. But,
even though it may be a good idea to add the instructions to the digest; I doubt
it would help with posters like our Princeton friend.
He claims to receive some 60 a day (there's a question as to his ability to
count. ;-)) Are that many debian-user-digests posted?
He also claims to have followed the instructions at the bottom of the messages
(reading comprehension? ability to follow instructions? )
He evidently has not tried going to the web site to unsubscribe. ( analytical
skills? )
Hopefully, we'll find out that someone else was using his computer; because if
it really is him, it's frightening.
He's training young minds to think as he does!!!!
