Fox Hunter Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Careful when unsubscribing from Mikes List (no content). You may be unsubscribed from Scots Newletter (superb content). What a bummer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryder Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 That is not right.....something is wrong with this picture. One should have nothing to do with the other. I will bring this to Scots attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeber Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Maybe I'm just easier to please, but I find Mike's List, while not on a par with SFNL, entertaining. Some of the links are fun. Mystery pic of the week keeps me guessing at times. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dicknite Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 I guess I agree with Jeber (Now THAT'S a scary thought!) - While Mikes List is not a technical goldmine like Scot's, it is quite entertaining...Although this has absolutely nothing to do with unsubscribing from either, I just saw the "(No Content)" and HAD to knee-jerk - er - react - er - respond! Just a thought - if they are both using the same mail server, maybe the unsubscribe asks if you want to unsubscribe from "All" or ?? I haven't tried it on either of these, but I have been to listservers that did that - if you picked the wrong button, you got unsubscribed from them all...d|:^)Dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scot Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 Whoa, Fox Hunter, you are absolutely correct. There is a very strange, very dangerous bug on the Lyris server where Fred Langa, Mike Elgan, and I are customers. This also affects a number of other newsletters. Thanks to you and one or two other SFNL readers, I'm alerted to the problem and I have contacted Mike, Fred, Woody Leonhard (of Woodys Office Watch and other newsletters), and the folks at Dundee. Hopefully, this will get fixed and pronto!Mike is using special code that the Lyris software people just rolled out. I didn't realize it was this messed up. I'm not using it. I don't know anyone else who is using it either. Hopefully we can get Mike to disable that right away and Dundee can figure out what the problem is. Bad mojo.-- Scot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scot Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Note to all: This problem has been fixed. Mike Elgan fixed it himself.FWIW, Mike and I are friends and I actually really like Mike's List. Its goal is to be entertaining, not to provide tech info (except, maybe, about gadgets and mobile phones). But I just really find Mike's point of view interesting.-- Scot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jomama Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 I read Mikes list, too. Glad I didnt try to unsubscribe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dicknite Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 I wonder if we could get some of the spammers to include that code? Then one unsubscribe would take us off them all! I guess this was off topic... Sorry!d|:^)Dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_Downey Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 I thought maybe we had a secret alias thing going on. Scot and Mike were one in the same......yeah that's the ticket.......Scot shaves when he does the Mike routine......yeah that's it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Hunter Posted April 16, 2003 Author Share Posted April 16, 2003 My comment about Mike's letter as having 'no content' was only an opinion that there was no content for me. I knew from previous discussions that Scot and Mike were friends and had been a subscriber for a long time. Scot's is still my all-time favorite, barring none. Glad the unsubscribe problem was corrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scot Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Thanks, Fox Hunter. I think we all understand. I really appreciate your posting it. It was the first I heard of it. Emails began showing up later that same day, but the forum proved a new worth to me right there in your message. And, I'm glad I'm your favorite! I guess this was off topic... Sorry!Dick, don't apologize! Nothing is off-topic here in The Water Cooler. Say what you will (that isn't rude). This place is for fun.-- Scot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
