Can someone explain how someone can be subscribed to lists via a 'mail bomb?' A few days ago someone posted the following message to the list: PLEASE REMOVE ME FROM THIS MAILING LIST. I WAS SUBSCRIBED AS PART OF A MAIL BOMB AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO GET OFF IT. I wrote to the person and he said a mail bomb had subscribed him to a lot of lists. Then he said the same person who did the mail bomb unsubscribed him. I having been trying to get complete information from him but its like pulling teeth out of a worm, probably because he can not explain things himself. He said he did not think he was the only person added to my list via a 'mail bomb' because my list [AFRICA-L] had been added to the list of another mail bomb. Has anyone had his/her list obtain subscribers via a 'mail bomb' or know how it is possible to subscribe people this way? I really do not get it. Checking my subscriber list, the number of subscribers had been stable--no major changes in the number of people. Only this one guy posted (**five** times) his request to be removed because of the 'mail bomb.' His node is in the UK [in case this is of help to anyone]. Marilyn, list owner AFRICA-L
