APOLOGY!!!! for my earlier posts about unsubscribing
Dear Debian list:
I recently, in unprecedented poor judgement, sent messages to the
list about unsubscribing that were in extremely poor taste. I deeply
and humbly apologize. I had been attempting to unsubscribe from the
list for weeks. I had successfully unsubscribed from the GNOME, KDB,
Yellowdog, and other lists, after subscribing for a few days to find
out some things about LInux; but though I eventually sent several
messages to the unsubscribe address for Debian, then sent mail to the
address listed in the bottom for problems, and finally posted
(politely) to the mailing list for help, I was still not contacted.
This may be due to my filtering, although I had the same filtering
set up for all those mailing lists and had no difficulties
unsubscribing from them. I had become convinced that my messages WERE
NOT reaching the list, and when I noticed again the 60-100 messages
in my box, in frustration I fired off those unfortunate messages in a
matter of seconds, thinking I was doing little more than talking to
the wind. My god, had I thought they would arrive, with my signature
and affiliations attached no less, I would never, never have sent
them. In retrospect I certainly should have more carefully considered
the possibility that in fact they might arrive despite how convinced
I was to the contrary.
Moreover, I'm aware of the role Debian has played in bringing Linux
into the mainstream of computing, and have great respect for them,
and have no desire to demean the people at Debian or those that
support and use it.
I hope you understand that I did not intend this, and hope that you
will accept my humble apology for those messages.
Jim Kroger
