Subject: [App_rpt-users] WARNING: Filing an abuse complaint to<br>
unsubscribe will result in you being permanently banned from this<br>
mailing list<br>

<br>
I am issuing a stern warning to those too lazy to go through the proper mechanism to unsubscribe from this list. If you<br>
don't visit the app-rpt mailing list and unsubscribe using <a href="http://ohnosec.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users">http://ohnosec.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users</a>,<br>
and file an abuse complaint with your ISP instead, your email address will be PERMANENTLY BANNED. You will end being<br>
unable to subscribe to the list in the future.<br>
<br>
I've had to explain to our ISP several times why these abuse complaints happen, and the rate of complaints has been<br>
increasing over the last several months.<br>
<br>
Abuse complaints from ISP's are serious business, and could result in the web hosting company canceling our account we<br>
get too many of them over a certain amount of time.<br>
<br>
Moral of the story: If you want to unsubscribe, don't take the low road and file an abuse complaint with your ISP. Take<br>
the time to do it correctly by doing a web search for app_rpt mailing list and following the instructions there.<br>
<br>
