Excuse me, but what the hell are you talking about 'time pressures'? Inprise
hasn't given us any details at all. You could very well be wasting your time.
Personally, I have other things to spend my time on.

The foolish part is creating more mailing lists. Why? I read the MERS group,
everything was going fine. Then, all of a sudden, we needed a new forum. Why,
I have no idea. Inprise makes an announcement that says very little - hey,
lets make a new mailing list. Better yet, to save time we will subscribe
everyone who was on the other list. Does this make any sense to anyone?!?!

Now that I have wasted my time and yours, I have to waste some more time
figuring out how to unsubscribe. Thanks.

Scott
