Re: [ga] Maintenance and Management of the GA

["Gregg L. DesElms" <gregg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Whomever is running this list needs to force information at the bottom of 
every single message with links to the area of the server where users can 
make changes to their accounts... or even unsubscribe if they want to.
It's not that I want to unsubscribe, but I've been wanting, for some time 
now, to find out whether there's a daily digest version that I can covert 
over to.
A set of instructions/links which allow the list members to do whatever they 
need to do, which are inserted at the very bottom of every single message 
that this list server kicks out, would would be extraordinarily helpful...
...and would finally make this list compliant with the defacto standards for 
list management today.  That boilerplate instructions/links are not 
auto-inserted into every message is quite non-standard... and a real 
irritation.
For whatever that's worth.
