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
<http://sourceware.org/lists.html#faqs>.  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).
