I really hate that I have to reply to people directly, due to the crapload of autoresponders, so I've taken to harassing the owners of them on their own websites. Check it, I posted the following on this messages board: http://www.workerscompensation.com/cgi-bin/teemz/teemz.cgi?board=_master&forum=WorkersCompensationcom__Whats_New_and_Notable&topic=13 Hello, The e-mail address webmaster@workerscompensation.com is subscribed to the php-install@lists.php.net mailing list. Every time anyone posts, we get around twenty auto responder messages from e-mail addresses like yours that were subscribed and forgotten about. Please unsubscribe from the list, or turn off your auto-responder, as you are filling our mailboxes with trash. Thanks CM Now, if everybody else here were to pick just one of those goddamn auto-responders and put in a little effort towards coercing them to unsubscribe, we might get somewhere. But it won't ever stop until some useless list admin decides to be useful, as these auto-responders are rendering our mailing list (a public service that at one point they must have utilized themselves) nearly useless.
