Hi Mike -
I used to be on SparOom long time ago but dropped off. Now I’m getting emails from a a lot of current members. Could you help me get back OFF the list?
Thanks,
Lynn O’Connor

I’d probably contact one of the moderators. Dan is one, for instance.

Same for me. I’ve tried twice to unsubscribe, with no success.
