Hi Larry, you wrote:

Perhaps the cygnus team should clarify this to:

   For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to
   "[email-masked]" with one line of text: "help".

: Keep the automated reply that you will get once you're signed up.
: This will tell you how to unsubscribe from the list in the future.
: If you should loose this message, you can always send mail to
: [email-masked] again with a body of "help" to find out how to
: unsubscribe yourself.

Or just look at the end of any message here (Improvement suggestion above)!

: Questions about how to join are fine and expected.

But could not happen if the mailing list processor would not allow
unsubscribed people to send to the actual list, but instead send help back,
as some other lists do.

: Its the ones from people that want to get off and should know better
: that are annoying!

Well said!
Alas, I don't know any mailing list where such requests are filtered.
