RE: [PHP-INSTALL] fight the autoresponders

I spent about a week harassing Earthlink, and every response I got was another confused support rep. who asked if there was something wrong with "the PHP on my hosting" space, or that "Earthlink is unable to assist customers in matters involving PHP programming" and the like. It's a noble effort, but seems to be a futile one.

Check it, I posted the following on this messages board: http://www.workerscompensation.com/cgi-bin/teemz/teemz.cgi?board=_master&for um=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.
