Don't worry, we'll be happy too.  Congratulations on the new job at M&I.

I find your attitude appalling and inconsiderate.  When you signed up
for the list you were given unsubscription information.  You were also
given an address to contact if you had problems.  What makes you think
that your needs are any more important than anyone else's?

Many people pay to run lists out of their own pocket -- myself included.
When the bandwidth on a list goes up, so do the rates.  How much
bandwidth did your ten unsubscription messages take to deliver to all
of the list members?

Enjoy your new life with Marshall & Ilsley.
