Dear Coordinator:

I am very tired of receiving self-indulgent, self-serving, self-promoting
messages on the DEVMEDIA listserv!! I do not feel that this sort of stuff
has its place in my face every time I turn on my computer....it has been
going on for months....perhaps it is why so many people are unsubscribing??

As well, I am extremely fed up with all of the unnecessary, irrelevent
"forwarded messages" coming from Mr Lessard.

I do not want to have everything/anything loosely related to media, from
everywhere/anywhere (ie: from other quasi-related listservs) forwarded to me!!

IS IT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO ASK SUBSCRIBERS TO BE A LITTLE MORE SELECTIVE IN
THEIR OFFERINGS?

IN ANY CASE....IF IT KEEPS COMING I WILL UNSUBSCRIBE.

THANKYOU!!

Bruce Gilbert

relevant LISTSERV!!)
