This is Hilerious !

A classic example of how on can mess up a good egroup with poor management.

Can't the moderator simply provide a unsubscribe link to enable those who
are at pains to understand why they are being flooded with these mails
which they never requested.

I for myself have forgotten the password and therefore stuck with this
misfortune of receiving ~ 70 mails a day, none of them needed or requested.

God help the moderator to get this thing under control !
