Paul, If you're getting email from the list, then you are still subscribed to it. The simplest way to unsubscribe yourself is to use the "List-Unsubscribe" field in any message you get from the list. This has all the information you need to tell the list server who to unsubscribe. If you're having difficulty with this, see . Emailing here with your problems is really not the proper procedure. It basically pesters every member of the list with your plea when you're the best one to solve it (and everyone else really can't help). -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
