How do I get off this list?
First, reply to every message posted to the list, asking "How do I get off this list"? 1500 people will get each and every message, and if all of them respond, maybe the incomming mail will fill up the com-pute-er at your place, until little ones and zeros run out all over the floor. Your system administrator (god, to you, mortal) will then delete your account, solving your problem. If this doesn't happen, go to the place where they keep your comp-ute-erz and open the door. This make take some force, as the system administrators (gods, to you, mortal) do not like you playing with their toyz. Find the mail server. If you don't know which one is the mail server, don't despair; just start with the biggest thing with the most blinkin' lights and work your way towards the smallest. Take off the coverz of all of da mail serverz, and find the cypherpunks wire. It is probably one of the red ones, or maybe black, or something. Use a pair of wire cutters to cut the cypherpunks wires, and all wirez that look like they might be cypherpunks wirez. Be sure to leave your wristwatch inside one of the mailserverz when finished. All good system administratorz (godz, to you, mortal) do this when dey werks on da mailserverz. When you are finished, stand under the smoke detector and light up a smoke. Wait for the halon system to discharge. You will not be bothered by any more cypherpunks mail. :) OR, you could just send a message to majordomo@toad.com, with the following in the BODY, not the SUBJECT: unsubscribe cypherpunks lojewski@switzerland-c.it.earthlink.net
