Hi Rik,
   I've not changed email addresses in a long time, but the process was.

Send an email to the request address with Unsubscribe in the subject
Wait for the confirmation message
Then reply to the confirmation message to make the change stick.

HTH,
Jake

Howdy folks.

What a huge pile of emails that accumulate! I have been pretty much offline
with lots of family and other summer stuff. Glad to see you folks are still
keeping things going so well.

I actually tried to unsubscribe from bksvol-discuss before I left, and I got
what I thought was a confirmation from the freelists email but I guess not
cause they kept coming.

I still may need to unsubscribe for a time, so maybe someone can correct my
technique if I got it wrong.

Here is what I did:
I sent an email to
bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
And put Unsubscribe in Subject field.

Should I maybe have also put it in the message text area?


I received a couple weeks ago a message that my submission of American
Theocracy had been rejected, with reason stated that it was already in
collection. I am guessing that wires crossed when Carrie said she was
buying New York Times bestseller books, although I thought I had said prior
that I had it near completion at time of her email to the list about it.

I don't really care since it was a book I was really wanting to read badly
at thte time. Except for the fact it does feel like a fair amount of work,
and I guess I was looking forward to an acceptance. Maybe it is just the
mere word, rejection. Huh?

I am mostly looking at a stack of books that are related to music,
biographies of people in the music field, and the like, since I have a lot
in my library now that I have been wanting to read over the years.   Is
there a volunteer with similar interests who wished so validate them?

Also I am very interested in reading a copy of the new biography on Babe
Ruth called The Big Bam, just reviewed in the New York Times on Sunday. I
didn't see any books by its author. Leigh Montville. Anyone know if that
book is in process of being acquired, scanned, or submitted? If so, I will
wait. For a while anyhow. Funny. When you want to read something, you
just want to read it. Right?

Best wishes everyone.
I will not unsubscribe for a few days, just to see if there are any replies
to any of the above.

Rik
