Dean, I feel that this issue has gone on Long enough It seems to me that by not allowing people to opt out and by unsolicited subscriptions you are only damaging your own reputation. I read what is posted to the lists I subscribe to so that I can do my job better. Not to waste time with these silly flame wars. Can we please put an end to this?

I don't have the initial password and it won't send me a new one. Please cease and desist this nonsense and unsubscribe me promptly, I never asked to be on your list, nor did anyone else that you added. You're a spammer, plain and simple. Ole Ole J.
