of the problem! You must accept the truth of NSPIC and lift it from

WesBurt met Mr. Plonk after posting his reply to reactions he ran into
on another list, in which he apparently accused the flood of unsubscribe
requests as an attempt to make it appear that the list manager had
unscrupulously signed up many people without their permission. He then
exhorted them to stick it out, and if they didn't like things anyway,
they could just use the delete key until they figured out how to
unsubscribe. I'm not sure what this qualifies as, although the first
bit seems to be standard paranoia -- "they're out to frame us!"

fun of... part gibberish, part CAPITAL LETTERS, but pointing out the
latter doesn't feel very satisfying.

I missed this, but the sudden connection to a practical concern struck
me as wildly amusing, briefly. "Super Duper Software will Save the
