hmmm.

Is it possible that, in subscribing my aged hotmail account to a daily yoga list, I have also subscribed myself to a "quotes of Jesus" list?

I'd pass one of them on, but all 20-some of these quotes (I check this account like once a month) are unbelievably self-righteous with their yipping about unbelievers and parables. I hope these folk weren't trying to get converts with their email list, cause they make this Jesus dude look like a prat.

Also, I know I've said this before, but it frustrates me no end that every health-related internets thing that has ads anywhere near it invariably includes something where I can click and it will tell me that I 'should' weigh 110 lbs.

Did you ever post to this list? Because a lot of lists have subscribers there who just randomly (and evilly) subscribe people to other lists that they think might be "useful". For example, there are some people who lurk on the Freecycle lists, and every time someone posts a "WANTED" mail, these people sign them up for "living frugally" or "being generous" mailing lists. Similarly, judging from occasional posts to yoga, I wouldn't be shocked if there are people out there who think anyone posting to a yoga list needs some more Jesus in their life and so just start signing them up for incoming Jesus.

This is just an announcement-style list, though. So I don't think another subscriber would be able to sign me up for craziness.

I wouldn't even mind the Jesus if it weren't so darn sanctimonious.
