Re: [Wikimedia-l] Could someone please tell me why I have been subscribed to this list?]

Hoi,

By your own admission you add people without their permission for your own reasons. There is no permission given and this action has been universally condemned.

Please list admins remove this person from the list.

Thanks,

Dear Rui

At the outset let me say there is no absolutely no question of my
"posing" as an existing list or using an existing name (wikimedia-l).
The preexisting google mailing list/group "wikimedia-l" for Wikimedian
Lesbians is owned / registered by somebody else and I am only an
ordinary poster to this list who added about 230 Wikimedian editors
from my personal email contacts.who have been emailing me over many
Wikimedia mailing lists.

As that phase is over now, I am adding about 2,000 email contacts from
my database who are extremely interested in the gross corruptions and
other malpractices of Wikimedia communities. About 1,200 of these are
persons who currently pay WIKI-PR type outfits for paid editing on
Wikipedia. We shall be publicly naming the Admins and editors who are
on the take - ESPECIALLY THOSE ON ENGLISH ARBCOM - and their minions
!!

The old posts / articles I have uploaded to this list today are for
the newbies who will be joining and not for the already corrupted
useless parasite Chapter and GLAM Wikimedians who have grown fat
suckling at WMF's porky titties
