Since I'm local to the 202 area code, I gave them a
call. They turned out to be approximately as rude over the
phone as they are over this list. They seem to be quite
exasperated with this and even though I tried to explain
to them how to get off the list they insisted in a very
testy, elevated voice that it was not their fault and we
would keep getting that message forever and ever as long
as we kept sending them mail and if we didn't like it,
then tough, stop sending them mail. <Sigh> welcome to the
late 20th Century. So I spoofed signoffs to listserv
coming from them, copied to the list (yes, that was me),
hopefully that will make this nonsense go away.
