Hi Richard,

I am not the list cop. Several years ago I offered to Brian, the list 
owner, to post weekly* instructions on how to unsubscribe. At the time 
the most common posting was "How the #@&$ do I unsubscribe?". Since 
then the content of the housekeeping messages has changed as the list 
members and list software has changed. I have added quotes from various 
other messages Brian has sent to the list. All this is to guide list 
members from repeating troubling incidents from the past. At one time 
Brian actually filtered the word eBay which then became  known as "the 
place that dare not say its name".

When people disregard these messages, I send out reminders. Any actual 
action can only come from Brian himself. I guess that makes me the 
"list cop's" annoying little brother :-)
