[gmx-users] Why does the list keep unsubscribing me?

Fri Jun 13 05:08:41 CEST 2014

Hi Mark,
 Thanks for your email. Firstly we don't even know if the exact problem is. It is just an assumption that this is happening.  I understand that maybe I am the only one (or maybe others never got reported). Its just my attitude to try to remove bugs when I find and not wait for enough incidents to happen, but that might just be difference of opinions.
 PS. A quick look at Mailman "http://www.list.org/mailman-member/node41.html" tells that confirmation options do exist in Mailman for unsubscribe and it has to be switched on (in fact it seems confirmation is by default, but GROMACS mailman at KTH has been configured otherwise). But again, I understand that for just a single case, it might to too much work to do. 
Have a nice day,cheers,Abhi
