 |
|
Dear Listers,
Each November I hold a PBS-like fund raiser to support the continued operation and upgrade of the Email List and Fourm Services at Matronics. It's solely through the Contributions of List members (you) that these Matronics Lists are possible.
You have probably noticed that there are no banner ads or pop-up windows on any of the Matronics Lists or related web sites such as the Forums site http://forums.matronics.com , Wiki site http://wiki.matronics.com , or other related pages such as the List Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search , List Browse http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse , etc. This is because I believe in a List experience that is completely about the sport we all enjoy - namely Airplanes and not about annoying advertisements.
During the month of November I will be sending out List messages every couple of days reminding everyone that the Fund Raiser is underway. I ask for your patience and understanding during the Fund Raiser and throughout these regular messages. The Fund Raiser is only financial support mechanism I have to pay all of the bills associated with running these lists. YOUR personal Contribution counts!
This year we have a really HUGE and TERRIFIC line up of free gifts to go along with the various Contribution levels. In fact, there are over 30 different gifts to choose from - more than we've ever had before! There's something for everyone, to be sure. Most all of these gifts have been provided by some of the vary members and vendors that you'll find on the Matronics Lists and they have been either donated or provided at substantially discounted rates.
This year, these generous members include:
Andy Gold of the Builder's Bookstore http://www.buildersbooks.com
Bob Nuckolls of the AeroElectric Connection http://www.aeroelectric.com
Corbin Glowacki of My Pilot Store http://www.mypilotstore.com
George Race of Race Consulting http://www.mrrace.com/
Jon Croke of HomebuiltHELP http://www.homebuilthelp.com
These are very generous guys and I encourage you to visit their respective web sites. Each one offers a unique and excellent aviation-related product line. I would like publicly to thank Andy, Bob, Corbin, George, and Jon their generous support of the Lists again this year!!
Please make your List Contribution using any one of three secure methods including using a credit card, PayPal, or by personal check. All three methods afford you the opportunity to select one of this year's free gifts with a qualifying Contribution amount!!
To make your Contribution, please visit the secure web site:

I would like to thank everyone in advance for their generous financial AND moral support over the years!
Thank you!

"The Unsubscribed"
The cold fog thickened noticeably as the newcomer hurried towards his
destination. He pulled his heavy overcoat around his neck a little more
tightly. This part of the city was not a place to tarry. Thieves and
whores were the only permanent residents here. Even the cops rolled through
these streets with a nervousness and an edge to heir normal macho banter.
Trouble and misery closed around everyone who ventured into this pustule of
urban blight like a leech on a warm vein.
"Damn!", he hissed under his breath as he stepped on something soft that
squealed and skittered off into the darkness and dankness of the mist. It
can't be much farther he thought. It mustn't be much farther. The sickly
yellow flicker of light from a street lamp shone dimly through the fog as he
quickened his pace.
There it was. The doorway seemed to be just blackness without definition.
As he got closer, two winos eyed him suspiciously through bloodshot and
yellowed eyes. He hustled past them, their breath leaving a rank scent that
lingered on his clothes. The door pushed inward and the newcomer was
inside.
The room was smoky and dim. The bar stank of liquor and broken dreams.
Several tables decorated the periphery. The man he had come to see was
sitting at one of those tables and beckoned him over to sit. The man was
darkly clothed and utterly shapeless. He might have weighed three hundred
pounds... or he may have been only bone. His shape was indecipherable. The
dark mans eyes were gazing down at the dirty glass in his hand, half filled
with cheap whiskey. He had been reading a glossy magazine filled with lurid
and obscene images. He folded it tenderly and stuffed it quickly into his
coat pocket like a vulture gobbling a rotten piece of flesh.
"What is it you want of me?", the dark man asked, not lifting his eyes from
the glass. His voice rumbled deep in his belly like a toad.
"I need you to tell me how to unsubscribe", said the newcomer in as even a
tone as he could muster.
The dark man looked up from his glass slowly to gaze at the newcomer. His
eyes were a pale watery blue. And his gaze lingered on the newcomer.
"You wish to unsubscribe?", he said, with a hint of amusement in his voice
but no trace of a smile on his thick pasty lips. "You come to me with a
need to unsubscribe?", he said, his voice getting louder now and any hint of
amusement gone. He sucked in his breath and hissed through his teeth
spraying the newcomer with a repulsive mist of spittle, "Why? Tell me why
it is that you wish to unsubscribe."
The newcomer felt fear now creeping up his spine. "I don't have the time to
sort through all the posts", he mumbled.
The dark man sat unmoved, his eyes stared at the newcomer without emotion.
His eyes were cold and amphibian.
"And I sold the RV and bought a Bonanza ", added the newcomer.
He realized in a heart beat that he should not have said that. The dark man
had him by the throat with a quickness that seemed otherworldly. And the
dark man squeezed that throat as the newcomer wriggled and squirmed in a
voiceless scream. The dark man pulled the newcomers face to his own until
they nearly touched noses. He breathed his fetid breath on the newcomer and
a trickle of drool escaped his mouth to plop loudly on the table between
them.
"Go!", he rumbled. "Go now you fool!", he bellowed. "Run if you can. It
shall do you no good! Once you have subscribed, all hope of ever
unsubscribing is gone! We will find you. Your email is now ours to
control. Your email box will fill to bursting with our messages. And there
is no hope for you. There is no good deed you can do to change what you
have done. The List will not be denied!"
And with that he released the newcomer who reeled and staggered towards the
door, gagging and stumbling. The dark man began to laugh, a low rumbling
laugh that grew louder. The newcomer fled up the streets as he had come
with the croaking bellowing laughter chasing him. He was doomed... and he
knew it.
The dark man sat back at the table in the dimly lit bar and sipped at his
drink.
"I guess I could have just told him to go to [b]http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?RV10-List[/b] and use the one
click unsubscribe URL at the end of page", he muttered under his breath.
No, he smiled to himself. That would have been all too easy. Still
chuckling to himself, he reached into his pocket and pulled out the magazine
he had been reading before the newcomer interrupted him. He quickly thumbed
through the slick and edge worn pages until he found his place. He never
missed a single word of each and every issue of Martha Stewart Living...
