TWL: TWL2 -- Not A Supporter

I used to have a modest level of sympathy for Andina but that all evaporated
when I posted to TWL tonight and less than 15 minutes later (in fact, my very
next incoming e-mail) I find that I have been subscribed to her list and have
to take action to unsubscribe.  All sympathy is gone as she has absolutely no
right to subscribe me.  I now consider her a scourge as her action is a
complete violation of the rules of TWL and is nothing more than SPAM.

I used to have a modest level of sympathy for Andina but that all

her list and have to take action to unsubscribe.

Which is different how, exactly, from the result if her response had been
permitted to go through the normal TWL process? You'd still have gotten that
message, albeit without the TWL2 header (though with the TWL footer, which
nobody seems to read). Nobody else is using TWL2: Why would they unless
they'd also been banned from TWL? The net-net effect here is that Andina has
found a way to circumvent the actions of TWL list management. Big whoop.

  1. If you have never posted to TWL, you will never see her posts. No big
    deal.

  2. If you have posted to TWL and you get added, you will see her posts, just
    as if nothing had ever happened. No big deal, not even a small deal. A
    nothingburger.

  3. If you decide you don't want to see her posts, you can just add her to
    whatever spam filter / Outlook rules you use for other people you don't want
    to receive mail from. The process for this is pretty much identical, but is
    actually easier for the mail to TWL2 because it doesn't have that "on behalf
    of..." in the From field. Again, no big deal.

Or you can jump up on a stool, scream, and point at the floor yelling
"Spam!". Whatever...
