Dear folks at C2,
If people don't ask you to be placed on a mailing list they jolly well don't have to follow *your* instructions to get taken off. [snip]
I think you're missing what happened. Someone subscribed the address for the _cypherpunks_ list to the clueless list. The "welcome to clueless" message got sent to you via the cypherpunks list. Notice the instructions from C2 say:
If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "Majordomo@c2.org" with the following command in the body of your email message:
unsubscribe clueless cypherpunks@toad.com
The email address there is the cypherpunks list, not yours. The reason you received the second email is that majordomo@c2.org (the address you sent mail to) is not a person -- it's a mail list administering program. Your mail had no command that majordomo recognized, so it sent you the majordomo help file. That's what it's supposed to do. You aren't being harassed by anyone. You aren't on the clueless list. You are on the cyperpunks list -- if you want to unsubscribe, send email to majordomo@toad.com with the words "unsubscribe cypherpunks" (without the quotes) in the body of your message.
