I can see the problems which would result from everybody running netwide unsubscribe daily for X users on Y listservers. This process wastes a lot of everybody cpu and bandwidth due to the fact every listserv is notified for every user even if the user is not subscribed on the particular listserv. Now if I had a QUERY subscribed users for my node, I could perform the command only once a week/month. Get my list of user subscriptions. Extract the userids I wish to unsubscribe. Then build a unique listserv batch job for each appropriate site, list, and user. This I think would save a lot of cpu and bandwidth. However IMHO I guess some people would still think this would waste their bandwidth and therefore it will never happen. So we are back to solving problems after they happen instead of using a little foresight and fixing problems before they happen. Respectfully Yours, George R.
