WHIMPER.

I've deleted you, jpalmer@spam@spamspamBeGoneUSWEST.NET; FYI, is silly to claim you're
being "Spammed" by a mailing list, which is set up so that you HAVE to
Opt IN to join the list (i.e., you have to VERIFY via a separate post -
in response to a verification query from the list server, caused by your
first e-mail telling it you wish to join the mailing list - that you DO
indeed want to join a mailing list, and that it's not someone else
joining you.)  By definition, this is NOT SPAM.  It's called "Opt-In",
where Spam is "Opt-Out" (i.e. you get it without asking, and have to beg
to be removed - and good luck ever getting off all their lists.)  Could
it be you chose to not save the "How to unsubscribe" directions you
received, when you chose to join this mailing list?

BTW: Sending multiple messages to all 1800 or so members of this mailing
list, asking that you be unsubscribed, is usually considered quite
noxious.  ONE message will do it.  When an admin gets to it.

If you saved the "Welcome!" message, you'd have the how to unsubscribe
directions right there (Mail to <EraseMELISTSERVspamBeGonespamspam_OUTMITVMA.MIT.EDU> with a body of
SIGNOFF PICLIST has been rumored to work REALLY WELL, BTW <EG>)
