Subject: 30% unsubscribed?


There was, however, a problem with the "unsubscribe" algorithm.  At one
point I was unsubscribed the day after I resubscribed.  JR sent me
the following email (nothing personal so I'm sure he won't mind)...

Later he sent (after I sent him responses of the "who" command showing
him that poof first I was there, then I wasn't).

I wonder if others have been similarly, wrongly, unsubscribed?
