[Python] Unsubscribing from the list

Go here:

http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Go to the bottom of the page. Next to the button "Unsubscribe or edit options",
enter your email address. Click the button. On the next page, click
"Unsubscribe". Follow the instructions in the email that is sent to you.

Thanks. I read that page, got as far as this:
(The subscribers list is only available to the list administrator.)
and decided that there was no futher interest on the page for me. Thanks.

if you're unable to follow written instructions, how on earth did you manage
to subscribe to this list ?

</F>

Actually, I'm a compete idiot and I always post to the mailing list
instead of RTFM or STFW. What's the name of that big big website?
goobble or something?!?

The first sentance under the heading "Python-list Subscribers" is:
The subscribers list is only available to the list administrator.
Admin address: Password:

As I'm not an admin, I read no further.

Robert provided *detailed* instructions, which you ignored. I quoted
the same instructions in my reply, which you also ignored. the sentence
after the one where you stopped reading also tells you what to do. one
might suspect that you don't really want to unsubscribe from this list...

</F>

I didn't ignore his instructions. I went to the page, and found what I
was looking for. I told him thank you, and explained why I didn't find
it the first time. That was public on the mailing list, go check the
archives. Specifically, the first three messages in this thread.

I haven't yet unsubscribed because I'm waiting for this thread to die.
It's actually rather amusing, because I can't decide if some list
members are genuinly upset at me, or if it is a orm of humour that I
am unfamiliar with. Either way, the thread is entertaining enough that
I remain.

He misunderstood you (as I nearly did, too). The way you phrased "decided that
there was no futher interest on the page for me" is somewhat ambiguous: it can
seem like it refers to the second time, not the first.

Ah. Sorry. I'm getting better at confusing people :)

if ($you=="got_offended") {
$dotan="sorry";
}

Except that on this list, you might offend people just by using vulgar
language like that. Better rephrase it to:

if you == "got_offended":
dotan = "sorry"

Er, that was quite the reason that I subscribed to the list in the
first place- to abandon php and get into python. I think that I had
better unsubscribe soon before I do any more damage :) Thanks, all,
for the wonderfully entertaining thread. I'll resubscribe in a few
months when I actually do have time to learn a new language- and I
hope that I haven't ruined any goodwill here. That was never my
intention, anyway.

Nice move, using Perl/PHP for that. It's always fun to piss people off
by apologizing. ;)

Cheers,

I almost misunderstood too. Dotan is not the only one to be somewhat
confusing though: I've always thought that the way Mailman formulates
that page is confusing. It always seems to me that "(The subcribers list
is only available to the list administrator.)" seems to cover the whole
"Python-list Subscribers" section instead of just the first part of it.

I think this layout would be much clearer (although this is actually a
Mailman issue, not a Python issue):


Python-list Subscribers

Unsubscribe:

To unsubscribe from Python-list, get a password reminder, or change your
subscription options enter your subscription email address: _______
[Unsubscribe or edit options]

If you leave the field blank, you will be prompted for your email address

Subscriber list (only available to the list administrator):

Enter your admin address and password to visit the subscribers list:

Admin address: _______ Password: _______ [Visit Subscriber List[

That page uses the default MailMan administrative interfase. Send a
RFE to the MailMan developers.

Well, you should work on your reading skills then - just a sentence further
the solution lures:

"""
Python-list Subscribers

(The subscribers list is only available to the list administrator.)
Enter your admin address and password to visit the subscribers list:
Admin address: Password: Visit Subscriber List

To unsubscribe from Python-list, get a password reminder, or change your
subscription options enter your subscription email address:
Unsubscribe or edit options
"""

So, how about entering your email in that last input field, and
press "Unsubscribe or edit options"

*lol* Just click.... ;-)
