I don't have to- apparently, you subscribed me to the mailing list 
without my consent or knowledge; I just got a "welcome to 
gnutelladonkey-GNUDO mailing list!" email.

Where the --HELL-- do you get off doing that?  You EXPLICITLY and 
CLEARLY violated Yahoo's acceptable use policy by doing so- 
irregardless, you had ABSOLUTELY NO BUSINESS subscribing me to a 
mailing list, and I suspect if you did it to me, you did it to 
everyone else who has posted to the various mldonkey lists.

  As a result of your actions, I have reported you to Yahoo's abuse 
department- their email tells me to do so if I find myself added to a 
list without my knowledge/permission, and that's exactly what 
happened.

I encourage everyone else who was added to the Yahoo Group to do the 
same.  Demand Yahoo not only unsubscribe you from the list, but also 
remove your address from their records and make it clear they do not 
have permission to use/sell your email address.

I think you also should be unsubscribed and permanently banned from 
all the mldonkey mailing lists.

Theoretically speaking, of course, I wonder what email address people 
might use from now on every time they see a "send me more 
information" form, or need to provide an email address to download a 
software demo...
