As I said, I am still receiving your messages. Ever try sending mail to cypherpunks-request@toad.com? That IS the Admin address. They took my request and processed it within 24 hours when I had to switch my membership to another account.
I must say that I attempted to subscribe in december and didn't start receiving mail until the second week in january. At that time Eric explained to the list that he had been away for some time. By that time I had subscribed from another address, and suddenly found myself reading the list from two accounts. It had been so long since I subscribed that I had forgotten the cypherpunks-request bit, and just remembered that it was some 'toad' thing. When I saw someone had sent a cancel request to cypherpunks@toad.com, I assumed that was correct. My own attempt to unsubscribe from the extra account resulted immediately in 3 mail messages, two of which were somewhat abusive. One person seemed to be under the impression that this is a usenet group, and therefore I shouldn't send unsubscribe messages to it, since only mailing lists are for subscribing/unsubscribing. The next day, Eric sent me mail with the right address for unsubscribe requests.
