Patrick,
Unfortunately, the appearance of being brain-dead is becoming endemic
here in the United States. The idea of "thinking" about something before
doing it is almost alien to most of the population. Perhaps if it were
packaged in a 30 second time bite with attractive video, pavlov's
creatures would understand.
Hehe.
Best wishes,
Gerry :}

<pre wrap=""> Don't forget, Frederic, instructions to unsubscribe are in the
headers of *every single message* that is sent on the list. For those who
can't be bothered to look at mail headers, you can unsubscribe with either
of the following URLs:
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://oaisrv.nsdl.cornell.edu/mailman/listinfo/oai-general"><http://oaisrv.nsdl.cornell.edu/mailman/listinfo/oai-general></a>,

However, we should keep in mind that, possibly, the people sending
these messages to the *entire list* aren't trying to be rude and annoying,
but are themselves unable to read English. Or maybe they don't know what
a URL is?

If you took the time to go to the OAI website.... click community where
you can find the mailing lists. Click OAI general list or OAI
implementers list.
On the bottom you have a section for OAI-xxxx Subscribers.
Fill in your e-mail and you'll be able to unsubscribe, retrieve your
lost password, whatever...
Kind regards
