RE: ADMIN: Re: OT How do I unsubscribe?

Well, I'll contribute to this useless thread too; no reason to do productive
work this morning. ;-) 

As noted, this list is hosted by a listserv server, which is what the
commands
in the footer belong to.

The listname-request address poster is quite correct in his/her syntax.
However,
those commands are majordomo commands, the other major mailing list software
package. 

Most commands for one type of server don't work on the other.
