unsubscribe me!

http://www.xanga.com/cloudlaced/427033235/mailing-lists-and-berkeley-all-stars.html

This has been plaguing my inbox for the past 48 hours... I'm thoroughly entertained though :-)

Some people are taking advantage of the insanity for advertising textbooks and bands,... or just shouting out to other senior friends through the email list.

Basically, the ignorance of one user sending the first email set off an exponentially growing flood of emails from people requesting unsubscription (or just playing with the system)... interesting social / technological commentary, really. (The proper way to unsubscribe is to go through the Berkeley lists system...)
