I have been trying to unsubscribe from this list but have been unsuccessful. I have written to Peter privately asking for help and wonder if this message was somewhat in response to my request. If so, while I appreciate the suggestion of ignoring conversations/deleting messages, it does not address the issue of lack of control of one's subscription. I do not want to simply ignore certain threads, I want to be able to remove myself but the Freelists interface is not allowing me to do this. I am on other listserves and have never had a problem subscribing and unsubscribing, but with Freelists I have been unable to either subscribe or unsub at will, very frustrating. I apologize for bringing this problem to the list, but my private inquiries to Peter and Jesse may be lost in their inboxes or at least have not been responded to. I have tried to unsub with what I think is the proper procedure using every command line that seems logical, and find that I will get the confirmation message but continue to receive list mail whether I try replying to it or not, so what am I missing? Help from the moderator/listowner very much needed and appreciated. Susan
