I have removed this address from 23 lists.
And group-arch at kolbsoft.com from 63 lists.

I regard this as a misuse of the mailing lists and believe these 
companies should have asked permission before subscribing.

Feel free to resubscribe them if you disagree with me, but I ask that 
you inform your list members first, to give them the opportunity to
object or to add disclaimers/copyright reminders to their messages.

Alasdair

As you can see, he's been fending off some bulk mail.  If enough of you 
feel that you'd like to receive this then I can subscribe the list.  It 
wouldn't be my personal choice, but hey! I'm trying to be democratic.

Let me know what you think?
