Re: Digest Number 521

Hi Ellen,

I have been getting spam which directs me to tapioca to unsubscribe and then when
I do that I get messages that say this is not a valid address or request or
whatever and I can't get rid of the spam.  I do not know if anyone else has the
problem or not.  I got between a dozen and a dozen and a half such spam mailings.
I still get most of them and I try about once every couple weeks to unsubscribe
but always get the not a valid address notice when I click on the link to
unsubscribe too.  I wonder if anyone else has had this experience or if it was
just one of the sites on tapioca that sold addresses or what happened.
