Subject: how to get your name removed from the list.

look people, this is getting silly. i can't do a * thing about
who is or isn't on the mailing list, and neither can 99% of
the other people who are on it.

there is a de-facto standard for mailing lists. if the list is called 
BRAIN-DAMAGED@HOST  then all requests for changes of address,
additions, deletions, etc should go to BRAIN-DAMAGED-REQUEST@HOST not
to the whole #%$^%&#^$* list. 

the next person to adct brain-damaged after this message gets out
will recieve the entire source code for a PDP-0 cobol
compiler in his mailbox. CUT IT OUT!
