hey gerald, could you stop spamming the list, please? If you want out,
then get out, it isn't that big of a deal.

Gerald, I successfully unsubscribed myself from the list last night just
to test and make sure it was working. After I did that, I subsribed
again and sent a message listing every step you need to take in order to
unsubscribe. So I know there's nothing at all wrong with the server, it
works just fine. Allow me to repeat the instructions in even greater
detail.

*** Step 1:

Send an email to
shavian-unsubscribe@...

When you have done that, within several minutes you should receive an
email from "Yahoo! Groups Notification" and that email will look like this:

Hello,

We have received a request from you to unsubscribe from the
shavian group. Please confirm your request by
replying to this message. If you do not wish to unsubscribe from
shavian, please ignore this message.

Regards,

Yahoo! Groups Customer Care

Your use of Yahoo! Groups is subject to
http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/

*** Step 2:

When you get that message, send a reply to the message by clicking your
"reply" button in your email software. That being successfully
completed, you will receive another email from the same place which will
confirm that you have been removed from the list.

Please follow these instructions carefully, and stop spamming the list!
There is nothing we can do to remove you from the list, so you will
have to do it yourself.

Hi Star
While I do expect that there will be additional letters added to ISA
eventually, to handle new sounds. At present, I wish to concentrate on
creating a useful subset of the original Shaw Alphabet, tailored to the
needs of the average American English speaker.
I think Hugh has taken a large step in the right direction, but obviously,
we need some American English Speakers to determine if the subset is workable.

I'm going to do that. If it works, fine. This will
then be the last thing the group gets from me. I had
time for Shaw alphabet stuff back in the Sixties, but
not now. Also this group wouldn't appreciate Shaw's
other ideas, from what I've seen. GB

It seems odd that you were quite happy to post and contribute for so long, and then you decide almost overnight that you have no time for it and start complaining vehemently that you can't get out. What you have been saying has been valuable and I for one will miss it. We need people with knowledge from Shavian's early days. One thing I can't understand, Gerald, is why you feel you have to justify yourself to all of us. If you want to leave, go ahead and leave. Don't post repeatedly that you haven't got time, your computer is being overloaded, whatever, just do what you have to do.

As a speaker of an American dialect that aproaches General American,
I would be glad to give my opinion of the workability of your
American subset of Shavian. If you can provide a chart of the
letters and their sounds, I'm eager to see it.
