[I'm sending this to the list again, because it seems as if people who
subscribe don't actually read the mail.  PLEASE save this message, so that
you will know how to remove yourself.]

I've posted this information to the list a couple of times in the last
few days, but perhaps I've been overly optimistic in expecting people to
read the messages....

Here's what I have said.  If any of it is unclear to you, please mail me
privately (oconnort@nyu.edu) and I'll remove you by hand.  Also, as I've
said before, if you try to get out and there's an error that results,
please mail me the error message exactly as you received it, and I'll
try to find out what's gone wrong.

INSTRUCTIONS FOLLOW.

  This is in the "welcome" message you get when you join.

  Send mail to:

        listproc@lists.nyu.edu

  You can leave the subject line blank.  In the body of the message,
  say only:

        unsubscribe bananafish


I don't mean this to sound cranky, but so far I think the explanations
have been in reasonably plain English and are untechnical.  Please feel
free to print these instructions and save them for the future.

If it's written unclearly, please point out the unclarities and I will
try to revise them accordingly.

If your mailer refuses to allow you send out mail with no subject, just
say "unsubscribe bananafish" to make your mailer happy, but still
include the "usubscribe" command as the only message in the body of the
mail.  (We *IGNORE* the subject line for unsubs, so that's why you have
to put the command in the body of the message.)
