If you're not already removed from the list, you should look at the message headers and find the Sender: line. Take that domain name (ssz.com or cyberpass.net or algebra.com or something) and send mail with "help" in the body to majordomo@thatdomainname.com. Or you could find the original message you received when you signed up, which is probably easier. -Declan At 11:55 10/17/2000 -0400, Vanessa Lynch wrote:

Hi Yes it is me again and I won't stop until someone can stop being rude...The first emai I sent was very polite and a simple request to be taken off. The response I received was very rude and thats why I responded the way I did. My apologies if you are having a bad day or feel personally attacked by my responses, however I recieve numerous emails unsolicted and solicted and when I request to be taken off its never a problem. This list is the only one that has responded in this manner.

I hope you have a wonderful rest of the day and realize that this was not about you ... I just wanted off the list.

Thanks so much!

Ah, Vanessa, it's you again.

You've been clogging cypherpunks with drivel for days now, in an apparent failure to understand the most basic mechanisms of mailing lists, let alone any glimmering of netiquette. You've been rude and obnoxious, threatening to report the cypherpunks list to the authorities, whoever they are.

A typical message: "i did NOT subscribe to this crap so u take me off or im reporting site!!!!!!"

I apologize, of course -- for being overly polite.

Let me be more blunt this time: Bugger off. Stop whining, stop frothing, and take your threats elsewhere.

Below is an email I received when requesting to be unsubscribed from a specific list - It look like someone from your organization has sent the latest email - please do whatever it takes to ensure I do not receive any futher emails. Whoever this person is in dire of an ego check! I simply requested to be taken off a list - no need for the organization/person to take it personally & act like so childish.

Thank you for your help!

Allow me to be more uncharacteristically succinct (it's been a long day):

Ms. Lynch, get a clue. Stop frothing. Until then, spare us the venting.

Yours truly, A friend
