Re: Help please (Signoff, unsubscribe) - from the Admin

Just in case the humor in the message below is missed by anyone, do NOT
I repeat do NOT use method 2! It is entirely inappropriate and only earns
you the reputation of being a bad Internet citizen.

For future reference, if anyone posts a message asking for instructions
on how to unsubscribe, everyone else please do not reply to the list.
Actually you don't need to reply at all, because your list administrator
is watching for those kinds of messages, and
will help that person privately, so just because you don't see a reply
doesn't mean they weren't helped. But if you feel the need to reply,
send your instructions directly to that individual.
