This is the season when many unsubscribe to avoid having their mailboxes filled with list messages while they travel, or just take time off to enjoy the holidays with family. To get off any rootsweb list in a hurry, send a message to the request address, which I am including below. Leave the subject line blank or include only the word UNSUBSCRIBE. In the space you would normally write a message, put ONLY the one word, UNSUBSCRIBE. This is a robot computer program and it does not read messages, names or addresses. If you write a message the robot has no idea what to do with it so it is sent along to the List Manager to handle which will delay your getting off the list. When you do it right, the robot will take you off in seconds. The exception will be if you are sending the message from an address which is not the one you used to subscribe or servers have changed addresses but are forwarding messages from the old address. If this has happened to you, send me the address you used to subscribe and the list you are on. I will manually unsubscribe you as soon as I see your message. To avoid writing several messages, I am sending this to each of my lists, and including the request address for each. The same address and rules apply when you are ready to subscribe again. Simply substitute the word SUBSCRIBE rather than UNSUBSCRIBE in your message.
