I am subscribed to this list 95% for the entertainment value.  According
to the archives sitting on my hard disk, Bill Kearney and Julian Bond
are the only people on this list who have ever posted anything useful.
Compute the % of their posts to the total and one must conclude that
there is a motive outside utility for being subscribed.

Around 14 months ago, tired of the s/n, I attempted to unsubscribe from
this list via Yahoo's web interface and was thwarted by it's (at the
time) hopelessly optimistic relationship with its documented
functionality.  Were it not for the occasional insight about the
brokenness of Radio, and the inexplicable occasional info-nugget by Bill
or Julian in response to the regular newbie/troll drivel, I would be
auto-bouncing this list via procmail until Yahoo felt inclined to
actually dislodge my address from its RAID arrays.

YMMVW.  IANAL. HAND. ROTFLMAO. OMFG. HTH. $.02. Etc.
