what site? Good question!
For those of you who had trouble figuring out what TGore44
<wklemmer1> was on about:
He/she signed up for the Loopers Delight list, apparently
downloaded a few sound sound files that he/she found monotonous, and
then attempted to unsubscribe from the list.
As is often the case with those who are rather dim, TGore44 sent
the unsubscribe request to the list itself, rather than to the list
request address. He/she also misspelled unsubscribe, which further
attests to the lack of attention he/she devoted to the process.
The fact that several of you didn't figure this out also attests
to the minimal attention you felt TGore44 deserved, but as compulsive
noodlers you needed to pipe up about it anyway (just as I, as a
compulsive curmudgeon, felt it necessary to gripe about all of
you).
Here's why I knew this about TGore44 and you all didn't:
1) I sorted my e-mail by Subject traced the "Too many
beeps and boops" thread back to the original poster.
2) I then sorted my e-mail by Who and found that the
person had posted an unsubscribe request about five minutes
earlier.
3) I also noticed that this person had never posted
anything else to the list.
4) i figured out that TGore44 was a casual visitor who had
joined the list and quickly decided it was not to his/her
liking.
I bring this up as an example of something I've learned to do and
that helps me gather all sorts of information. I call it
"research." Sometimes I also call it "thinking about
something that puzzles you until you figure it out." Try
it! It works great!
