Ok hub13, now that you've exercised your 'right to response', and clearly
expressed that you're not interested in working with phunkee and mike, who
form a core part of the birmingham noborders group, much as they wouldn't
work with you, i don't think there is anything left for you to do on this
list. Besides, this's getting silly again and i don't think it's the ideal
use of the list.

So, as list admin, i am hereby kindly asking you to unsubscribe to this
list. Note that this is a collective decision that has been discussed off
list by the rest of the collective (or what remains of it). I'll give you
48  hours to do that, after which, if you haven't done it, i'm afraid i'm
gonna have to do it myself.

Take care,
