The move was an intended one. What was not expected was the very negative
and strongly worded responses from AZIPA headquarters. Have you not read
them? One or two of them were very much done out of anger, rambling about
the necessity of this change. Then you read it and get lost in the many
words used. Most of the complaint postings have ceased since earlier today.
Why would they simply cut off a listing that everyone ELECTED to be part of
just because they are bashing a change that the LIST PEOPLE found to be not
to their liking? If you say yes to subscribe, you can say no and
unsubscribe. But that is, I believe, our right to decide. I agree with
the autosubscription in that if you are moving things around, great. But
why not specifically post a change like this well in advance? Why do this
suddenly and without some sort of pre-notification? It's courtesy. I
believe it may be part of the law as well, depending on which way you wish
to put it into interpretation.
