Dearest Harry,

YOU UNSUBSCRIBE YOURSELF THIS WAY:

" Yahoo! Groups " is set up so that you can easily and quickly leave a Group when

you want to. You don't have to wait for a mod or owner to remove you.

But you have to do this AT THE WEB SITE, you can't unsubscribe yourself by

e-mail.

Sign in to Yahoo! and go to the " My Groups " page:

http://groups.yahoo.com/mygroups

Near the upper left corner you'll see " View Groups " / " Edit My Groups " . Click on

" Edit My Groups "

Then on the line where this group is listed, select the box at the end of the

line: " Leave Group " , then click " Save Changes. " Voila! You've left!

Harry said he'd been doing that repeatedly for weeks and is still subscribed and

receiving Group messages.

That's because this Group is unmoderated, or virtually unmoderated.

But anyone can leave the Group instantly by going to the website and following

the instructions I posted.

That's not necessarily true. You have to have a yahoo account to

do it from the website. Harry is posting from a yahoo address,

which means he definitely has a yahoo account, so he presumably

should be able to do it from the website, but people who

subscribe by e-mail without signing up for a yahoo account

can't. Everyone should be able to unsubscribe by e-mail though,

as described. Doing so requires sending the message from

an address that Yahoo has connected to the group. If Harry has

tried that method, it may be that he's sending the message from

the wrong address. The phrasing of his message saying that he's

been requesting to be unsubscribed sounds like he thinks he's

writing to some individual rather than trying to proper methods

of unsubscribing though.

Harry, if you've tried one or both of these methods and they

don't work, let us know what you've done and whether you got

anything in response to it and maybe someone can help you.

Sorry: what I meant is, that if you request to be unsubscribed by e-mail, it

means you're waiting for the owner or moderator to remove you or delete you from

the Group, but if you go to the website you can instantly and easily leave the

Group yourself. No waiting.

Since this Group is virtually un-moderated, I'm guessing that Harry's e-mail

requests are probably accumulating in someone's inbox, un-read.

But if Harry goes to the website via the link I posted, and follows the

instructions I listed, he can unsubscribe himself in no time.

(And, I originally posted these instructions back on January 28th, when Harry

posted his first request to be unsubscribed.)

Yeah, the unsub addy is different from the one we use to send group messages and

it does it automatically. I moderate another group, and people come and go all

the time. I have to approve their coming but not their going.

Sent from my blueberry.

something. I learn something new every day!

The subscription and unsubscription is automated either way.

There's no waiting for a moderator involved. The server gets the

message, then it acts accordingly. Subscribing requires

confirming the subscription but I don't think unsubscribing

requires anything beyond sending a message from the correct

address to the correct address. If you send a message to the

group owner address, that sits and waits for someone to read it,

but the subcription server doesn't work that way except in the

case where someone tries to subscribe to a group that requires

approval before people are allowed to join it.

Not if he sent the messages to the correct address. I'm guessing

that wasn't done though.

Unsubscribing via the website does seem more likely to be the

better choice in this case, but in general both ways work

equally well and the e-mail method will work for people for whom

the web interface isn't available.

If you would be so good as to log in to Yahoo, or click on one of the emails

under a message on reply via web post, that will take you to the group.

From either entry portal, click on My Groups, then edit my groups, scoll down

to the group you wish to leave, and click on leave group. Then at the bottom

click on save changes, and you are out.

Hope you will find this helpful.

And considering the very polite manner in which he requested on the

board to do something that it takes a small modicum of effort and savvy

to do, one might be tempted to say,

Go Unsubscribe yourself.

But that would just be harsh, wouldn t it.

It was terribly tempting, Doug, but seemed somewhat Nada like. :-0

Yes, must be the KO thing in me too--I so wanted to bark at him, too. After all,

he was being unaccountable and unreasonable with my WTO family!
