I'll admit there has been a fair amount of white noise / silliness
lately, and there have been some unsubscribes in the past few days, but
there are unsubscribes almost every day. The ones we happened to see
lately were all misaddressed, apparently, or we wouldn't have seen them.
It was interesting to see messages posted with requests to unsubscribe,
and then the extremely clear instructions on how to unsubscribe, at the bottom.

Possibly. And, what's more, anyone who has anything more serious or more
interesting to discuss than stewed cars, purple dinosaurs, whether fat
pigs led to the invention of bacon or bacon led to the invention of fat
pigs, and whether skinny pigs led to the invention of lapdogs, has the
option of asking a question, telling a story, or otherwise introducing a
topic they _do_ wish to discuss. Failure to do this is akin to saying,
"I never vote because my chosen candidate never wins."

"So," he asked her, or anybody else, formally, "was there something
specific you wanted to discuss?"

I'm up for losing some of the threads we've either beaten to death or
never should have started, but don't feel it necessary to ask people to
abandon them unless there is a better alternative. I, for one, would
like to hear more about this upcoming EK 12th Night menu, having been
involved in the same feast last year.
