CDR: RE: Vanessa Lynch, still whining (an impressive feat)

[Declan McCullagh]

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 at thatdomainname.com.

Or you could find the original message you received when you signed up, 
which is probably easier.
