People like you are why I feel like I am a hostage to the list.  I have
sent you several personal emails, but you persist in sending your (to me,
uninteresting and annoying) comments to everyone on the list.  You may not
understand why the list keeps sending me endnote comments, but it does.
You obviously do not understand enough about the basics of the listserver
and email and condemn all of us to forever have to put-up with you annoying
and irrelevant comments.  Your comments are not helpful to me; they do not
suggest a solution; they are meant to insult me. That is why I am a
hostage.  Should I redirect to you all of the "personal email" that I have
received supporting my position?  I haven't bothered because this is
beginning to become a big waste of everyone's time, especially mine. I
would hope that a certain level of decorum and civility be maintained.
        I will be sending you the extensive explanation that I receive from
the listserver explaining why I continue to receive messages but am unable
to quit.  It explicitly states that I am to ask the listowner to log me off
which I have attempted to do.  When the listowner does not respond, what am
I to do?
