No. I've tried a few times but never got anything. Haven't tried in a couple of years, and it sounds like nothing's changed.
Hey, Seth. How about setting up a professional announce-only (one-way, no replies) listserve?

since we're gripping - uh, i mean, offering constructive feedback - about 930 communications, let me share my concern: inability to unsubscribe. i moved in october, and have now sent 4 requests to unsub my old address - hopefully fourth time is a charm, first three haven't worked. send requests both via the form and via direct e-mail. in the end, 930 is wasting postage and print - i get two volumes at my old place, neither of which is needed.

I used to get the e-mails, and then one day they just stopped. I tried signing up again, to no avail. :(

ive now changed my addresses twice in just over a year and luckily have had no problems. only had to email them once and it was taken care of. sometimes took a bit of time, but its always worked out. maybe ive lucked out. and i got my newsletter pronto in the mail (in NYC).

I'm pretty sure the way it works and Kosmo can back me on this…is that if you sign up for email and don't receive email alerts it is usually because the other posters have voted to ban you from receiving said email alerts. I do recall your name coming up for vote. I voted in your favor but alas, I was in the minority.
Sorry.

are you truly unable to recognize dripping sarcasm? does it have something to do with the fact that you love bright eyes?

No, I assumed that he was attempting to be sarcastic, but it was done so badly I wasn't sure. Also, it's built in to my personality not to be a sarcastic dick to everyone (just those who deserve it, though I don't claim to be any good at it due to lack of practice), so I sometimes have trouble understanding why other people choose to act that way. Was it really necessary to turn a serious, legitimate question into a joke?

Sorry dude. I may be overly sarcastic for your sensitive demeanor but at least I never armed and/or trained orcs and goblins, thus rousing the thrulls to rebel, and unintentionally invoke life in the thallids. Sarpadian will never be the same thanks to you (and I mean that in a bad way).

Nice Googling (unless you actually recognized that, which I seriously doubt). No one's ever called me on my username before. I've been using it online for almost ten years now, starting back in tenth grade or so during a short phase in which, yes, I played Magic. I just never stopped using it, for some reason.
And your statement wasn't "overly sarcastic". In fact, I'd say it barely qualified as sarcasm, unless there's an inside joke of which I'm not aware. I was seriously asking you to clarify yourself, because the lack of any obvious wit or humor made me consider the possibility that you were actually being serious. The idea occured to me that you might be referring to something other than the normal mailing list, something I didn't know about. It really wasn't necessary to jump all over me about it (directed more towards HoyaSaxa than you).
And yes, HoyaSaxa, Bright Eyes fans are lesser people. We should all be dragged out into the street and shot for our horrible taste in music. Pray tell, how may I learn to be as enlightened as you?
