Re: unsubscribe RTFM's not working, lol....

I just received this in response to my phone call...he asked me to forward it (I have removed the html formatting which causes spacing issues) so have fun - here is a solid laugh to start your weekend.

Note the subject line was: "Please tell me what to do..."

PS: I responded privately to explain that no one has threatened him, but that lots of people were angry.

>Dear Sir,

>     It has recently been brought to my attention that the community of which you are a part in is planning a malicious attack on me and my employer's domain over what I would consider something that is far beyond my control.  I joined the mailing list to which you are subscribed (modperl@perl.apache.org) in hopes to find some help with an issue I had several months ago.  My questions to the mailing list went unanswered, leading me to "un-subscribe" myself from the list per the instructions found at http://perl.apache.org./maillist/modperl.html .  As the site directed, I clicked the "mailto" link and politely asked to be removed from the list... the emails kept coming.  By this time, I had setup a rule to delete all emails originating from the modperl mailing list as numerous emails, although very informative, were simply too much for me to sort through anymore, hence I never received the "explicit and even polite" instructions your colleagues allegedly sent me on removing my name from the list.  I hope you can understand that I'm not juvenile enough to set up an auto responder as I have apparently been accused.  Whatever may be causing this strange error is, as I previously stated, beyond my control.  I spoke directly to the administrator of our firewall and email server, and he confirmed, as I had already suspected, that nothing in the configuration of either device would cause my single email to be regenerated indefinitely and spawned to every member of the mailing list.  If you have any insight on what action(s) need to be taken on my part to remedy this issue, beyond sending an email to mailto:modperl-unsubscribe@perl.apache.org (no sense in making a bad thing even worse), please let me know.  Although I cannot take responsibility for what has happened, I do apologize to you and all members of your community for the inconvenience this has caused, and ask that you could relay this message to the rest of the members.  In closing, I applaud you and your colleagues in providing help to those in need and hope that this incident doesn't lead others to ignore such requests.
