Hi Bruce,
Anyway I can UNSUBSCRIBE to the listserv? I've done it the normal way,
blank subject line with unsubscribe written in, but no such luck, I'm still
receiving mail. I'm in a doctoral program at Pepperdine and many of us are
having problems subscribing, thanks to Peggy I was able to join but now
wish to be removed from the list...can you help? Please email me with your
response.
Thank you...
