Unsubscribe? Or is this the Mafia?

However I do not want Don to be able to use my mistake in subscribing to his website as a way to market his website.

I know that others have demanded the same however their log-ins are still listed...this should be a warning to advertisers that in addition to this forum eliminating discussions of issues actually relavant to Lake Winnipesaukee, the webmaster is artificailly inflating the number of "members".

How does his name work to sell advertising? Maybe I was isolated too long but I never heard of him other than here on the forum. The name "Airwaves" would not cause me to buy anything so what am I missing? Is he famous?

If Airwaves is a name that influences people like advertisers then maybe I should change to that name if it is removed from the roster. If it is removed it then becomes available, right? Would I get free stuff or special consideration for being a sought after member called "Airwaves"? If he were still here I'd ask him why advertisers would want to advertise on the forum because of his name. I don't know.

What I do know is he is slow and can't spell well. Slow to conclude that he made a mistake 4 years ago in 2006 when he registered for the forum. Slow to realize what is acceptable on the forum. I know that he can't spell the words "artificially" or "relevant" . I know that he has been involved with some back and forth heated exchanges on some topics to the point that Webmaster has either deleted some posts, locked or eliminated some threads. He also has had some good information and points to share with the forum.

I've been on the forum a long time. I've been on forum moderation a long time too (that's no fun). I recall Webmaster reducing and eliminating numbers of users that were registered by spammers. If he were artificially inflating member numbers he sure could do a better job at it . If I were an advertiser I would look at web traffic and count web hits rather than look at a list of registered users many of whom rarely post.

I like Steve A's suggestion but I don't recognize the guy in that video either.
So, who the heck is Airwaves that his presence would cause people to want to advertise here?

I learned back in elementary school days that whenever I wanted out of the game, to just pick up my marbles and go home - no tantrum and no name calling. In that way, should I want to return to play another day, I would be welcomed back and there would be no hard feelings. A simple solution that worked for me in solving life's complex problems.

I would think that having the actual Gilligan of Island fame would be far more valuable than some guy named....I forgot already.

Ok. . . I'm lost here.

Is whats his name famous or something. Is he Rush Limbaugh or Don Imus or something? Seriously, I have no idea.

If somebody knows what is going on here, please send me a PM.

OK let us all as it appears that we are and I personally think that Don did a great job in thread #6 answering the problem .
