I doubt spamming the list is a good exit method but I've been trying for
quite some time to get off this list and have tryed both email addresses
to unsubscribe (and gotten messages stating I was unsubscribed), and even
had my sysadmin try to unsubscribe me. While I may not be as brilliant as
yourself I'd assume these steps to be among those usually needed to get
removed from a mailing list. Any more suggestions on how to get off the
list besides just writing it down as we're all total idiots (I'm only
half)? Thanx. :>
