Format of ListServ messages, (Was: unsubscribe)

NO!, NO!, NO!

SMH alert does this, so you have to scroll through a page of
rarely-used stuff to get to the good stuff, its a PITA & have told them
so.

It is not acceptable that many people will be disadvantaged purely
because a few folks are too lazy/ignorant/sloppy to *read*.

Just like a technical report which has an appendix, it can be referred
to, if necessary.

Reading *comprehension* seems to be spiralling downward, perhaps its
because the Aussie Education budget is poor & targeting fee-paying
overseas students.

We need more $ on education, encourage skilled Asian immigrants who
want to make babies with Aussies. Solve a lot of problems...
