Mailing list removal confirmation notice for mailing list cypherpunks

We have received a request from 185.129.61.1 for the removal of your email address, "gmkarl@gmail.com" from the cypherpunks@lists.cpunks.org mailing list. To confirm that you want to be removed from this mailing list, simply reply to this message, keeping the Subject: header intact. Or visit this web page:

https://lists.cpunks.org/mailman/confirm/cypherpunks/2873ac1e8b3a32c23289b00...

Or include the following line -- and only the following line -- in a message to cypherpunks-request@lists.cpunks.org:

confirm 2873ac1e8b3a32c23289b008d8598420efa5e5d7

Note that simply sending a `reply' to this message should work from most mail readers, since that usually leaves the Subject: line in the right form (additional "Re:" text in the Subject: is okay).

If you do not wish to be removed from this list, please simply disregard this message. If you think you are being maliciously removed from the list, or have any other questions, send them to cypherpunks-owner@lists.cpunks.org.
