I'd like to suggest that periodically John send out a post that everyone
responds to and if you don't respond you are removed.  Or something like this.
Anyone else have any ideas's
==========================================================
For my two pennyworth, I would say that it is simply not worth getting all 
steamed up about such posts.  They are always headed "Unsubscribe" or include 
the word in the text, so that all you have to do is press the delete button.

It is these heavy .gif files which are the real pain, if they are not your 
subject.  In England, I have to pay to receive them, before pressing the 
delete button, which is very irritating.  I suppose it can't really be helped 
and, such is the general quality of the forum, that one has to put up with it. 
 Still, anyone got some ideas on that one?

As all those who have been on this forum for a year or more know, I only trade 
the T-Bonds, so when one is getting specific, lengthy posts on the S&P, the 
OEX, stocks and shares, etc, it is a 'bore' to have to delete them - but it is 
hardly a headache, if they are well headed.   Anyway, I would rather have to 
put up with getting stuff I don't want, in order to get the odd pearl that 
appears.  For example, the posting about some new indicator with an .ela file 
is always worth a look...  The posts on computer problems can be very helpful 
(especially, if like me you are rather more literate than numerate!) and are 
worth storing...   There are certain contributors who rate a file, because 
their posts are nearly always worth saving for reading later (I will spare 
their blushes, but I bet any list of names would be 'dittoed' by many...   
Etc, etc.

Anyway, let me say that I think we owe a huge debt to Mssrs Kwong, Boggio, 
Billington, et al at Kasanjian Research for running this show.  RT has to be 
one of the better forums for traders to follow.  It is probably the best 
organized and moderated website within the trading business.  Over time, those 
who have constantly tried to sell us their services, have got the message and 
stopped or gone away.  Those that try to educate and help are much appreciated 
by all and the tone of the responses show this.

Anyway, be assured that the trading manual that I am currently producing will 
certainly recommend RT as an essential forum for the serious trader - but, 
don't worry, I will point out the need to learn to unsubscribe...
