Rules we need to save.

Any time you join a mailing list, the mailing list
always provides a list of instructions on how to
unsub-cribe.  I have to type it that way or it will
not go to the mailing list.

Also, remember... not all mailing list are the same.
There must be a dozen types of mailing list programs
and they do not function the same. People assume it is
easy to add a footer defining the rule to be
unsub-cribe to each message... but it really is not. 

The key goal is to remember to save your unsub-cribe
process whenever you join an Internet mailing list.

Running a mailing list is volunteer job.

Attached is an example.
