I am in no way affiliated with these folks and gain nothing by telling you about this: The sale they have going on right now is _very_ attractive. Any eBook or Video is $10 today. More eBooks = deeper discount. Hopefully this is beneficial to folks. It's not limited to Perl only: https://www.packtpub.com/packt/offers/levelup?utm_source=Sentori&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=Level+Up+-+Last+Chance -- Tommy Butler -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: No Perl Mongers tonight. Due to the unforeseeable and unavoidable, we're postponing until next week, Oct 15. We hope this causes no confusion or inconvenience. Next month we will be back to our regular schedule which is always the second Wednesday of each month.? We had a pretty full house last time, and really hate to make everyone wait.. but it will be worth it! If you guys want to self organize a social event, it will just make us jealous. :) John & Tommy -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Tommy, when you post on Google+ make sure to NOT select "Extended Circles". I don't know if you have been, just a guess.

I subscribed yesterday, and only because there was no other way to reach you, so that is not the reason. I receive the invitations in my gmail account, via Google Plus, as indicated in the screenshot I linked in the message to which you replied. Here is the link again: http://a.pomf.se/rtfsld.png Whatever you are doing to post the invitations on Google Plus is reaching me, even though I do not have a Google Plus account (and therefore cannot reply or unsubscribe). It is also reaching many other people who do not want to receive the invitations. Stuart Johnson may have the right idea; perhaps you are using the "extended circles" feature. (Not being a Google Plus user, I do not know.) Here's Google's help page on "extended circles": https://support.google.com/plus/answer/1302427?hl=en It says that if you share something in "extended circles" it goes to people who are in the circles of people in your circles. This undoubtedly includes many people who have never heard of you and don't want to receive invitations. I don't know if this is what caused your invitation to be sent to me, but even if it isn't, if you are doing this, you should stop. And whatever it is that you are doing, you should take more care with it, because you have been sending me these invitation for months, and there is no clear way to reach you to ask you to stop. I would have contacted you privately if your invitation had a contact email address or I had been able to find a personal email address or even a telephone number for you.

I won't bother to provide you with an instructional link for that. It would probably make me look like a petty, mean-spirited person. I'm so sorry for inviting you to Perl-related activities. Strange thing that I enjoy knowing when, for example, the Toronto Perl Mongers meet, and that their updates don't bother me. I benefit by joining their hangouts and learning from their talks. I'm telling you they must be a real bunch of jerks for clogging my inbox with one email each month. It's an atrocity, an injustice, and who cares about them because they are geographically located elsewhere! We're a world-wide community, Mark, but I wish they would just stop bothering me with their icky little friendliness. You've been removed from this mailing list. -- Tommy Butler, DFW.pm organizer On 10/16/2014 10:22 AM, fpuzhpx at streetwisemail.com wrote: > Tommy Butler says: >> You are subscribed to the DFW Perl Mongers list. > I subscribed yesterday, and only because there was no other way to > reach you, so that is not the reason.

Any good email client today should have a "filtering" system, wherein the user could set a filter condition to take all email from a given address or domain, and delete it upon arrival.
