John,

I'm one of the moderators of this list and I have been unsubscribing a 
couple of subscribers like Lynn in recent months. I don't share your POV 
regarding the size of the issue, it just happened twice this week but it 
doesn't happen every week.

Anyway, one theory that we have already been discussing many years ago 
within the old OOo community is that these kinds of users enter a 
subscription with a fraudulent provider of OpenOffice that offer them 
'support' and managing somehow to get these users subscribed to our 
mailing list. I have been trying to confirm this theory with some 
persons I had unsubscribed in the past but they were never willing to 
discuss so far. So, what should I do?

One thing seems clear, this is certainly no technical issue that can be 
easilty investigated in.

Best regards,
Peter
