help, in an evidently major miscalculation i thought i would subscribe to the Buffalo Poetics Listserv...call me crazy but i was bored at my deadend UCSF job and had time to kill, so i joined hoping to get in on some poetry drama/ conversation...so, it turns out that BPL is mostly an announcements forum (maybe that's unfair but i call em' as i see em')...and a mail bomber to boot, i get 25 to 35 new emails a day, yarg right?...(okay, the mailbomb issue might be a "settings" issue but still...)
i've tried to unsubscribe by the guidelines below no less than 8 times...
"You may leave the list at any time by sending a "SIGNOFF POETICS" command to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU."
to no fucking avail...day in day out 25-35 new mail bomb poetry announcements sent to my gmail...i want it to stop but no one is listening...i sent a myspace to Amy King but i don't think she checks her account anymore (Facebook traitor)...any suggestions?
unless i'm an idiot, "sending a 'signoff poetics' command" is a really roundabout way of saying "send us an email saying you want to quit the list" right? which i've done 8 times...ba.

Try sending the command to get it in digest form. One email at around midnight. Maybe that'll work.
Try spamming their email account. If you regester their addy as spam your gmail account should start to automatically delete them...at least I think.
If you "set poetics no mail" you can post to the list (publication announcements, for instance) and simply check the archives online instead of receiving either a digest or individual posts. For what it's worth, the "early archive" (avail. from the EPC site) is an interesting example of why/how exclusivity works.
hey thanks mn and Patrick and SAKKIS,
patrick, didn't know about your providence project, very very cool.
you were just out here yeah? i think i saw you at new yipes but didn't get a chance to introduce myself...
where can i hear some Da Crouton?
John!
I rarely check myspace, as indicated by my last log in 12/11/07.
I'm sorry you're experiencing these difficulties, John. Email your request to me directly, and I'll fix it.
By the way, spamming is futile and rather silly since no one has contacted the moderator about the problem directly.
Happy New Year!
Amy
hey amy,
