Not only did the first guy not read the message and screw it up, but the second guy read the first screw-up and added another screw to it! Are we going to see "ME TOO!", or "YES" messages now? To confirm your subscription to the PIClist, send a message to spamBeGoneLISTSERV@spam@MITVA.MIT.EDU with no subject line, and the body text SIGNOFF PICLIST You will be receive a confirmation message within 24hrs. Hit reply and write the word 'ok' in the first line (without quotes). -- Regards Tjaart van der Walt RemoveMEtjaartspam_OUTwasp.co.za

I find it *extraordinarily* implausible. 1} The message is *through* the PICLIST, not from the listserver. The "refcard" specifies this in respect to the "CONFIRM" command, which is indeed real. 2} The message is from a totally unrelated domain. 3} The message is from an unknown author. 4} I've been subscribed since 15th May 1997, 17 months and it hasn't been required in this time. 5} The listserver has some intelligence regarding "fail to deliver" messages. Manual confirmation of continuation of subscription is not required to clarify this. I think a lurker has been reading the refcard. -- Cheers, Paul B.

No, I think that PIClisters are invited to take the monthly have-you-rtfm and IQ test. Since the MITVMA computer was very busy a British member of the list volunteered to forward the announcement for them from his POP account. Isn't this obvious ? BTW the proper net name for this is 'a troll'. Apart from that, the forwarded message will generate an inordinate amount of response info from LISTSERV, flooding the poor responder's mailbox. Do not fall for trolls. And don't get upset. Just flame away privately ;) Peter

Ok people, STOP. The renewal message is sent to you if you're idle. It gets sent to you directly, not to the list. Replying to the list does nothing*. STOP FORWARDING THIS TO THE LIST. Thanks, Josh Koffman PICList Admin #5 * Actually, it might do something, as if you reply to the list you're technically not idle.

Well, there are two ways. One, don't go inactive. You don't have to chime in on every thread, but you'll only get a renewal notice if you haven't posted for numerous months I believe. Second, read the renewal notice. It tells you where to send the commands, and it isn't spam_OUTpiclistTakeThisOuTmitvma.mit.edu. The command issued by the original poster was a valid command, but it was for the listserv, not the list members. The email address to send commands to is .....listserv.....RemoveMEmitvma.mit.edu. Another great source of information about the PICList and how to manage your account is the PICList FAQ at http://www.piclist.com.
