Guys? Let's not be quite so snide when we respond to people who are
trying (and failing) to unsubscribe. Yes, there are plenty of folks who
could use a good whiff of CLUE when trying to subscribe/unsubscribe, but
sometimes the damn thing just doesn't work. For instance, a few months
ago I unsubscribed from all the debian lists and resubscribed with a
different address. This process went fine on most lists except debian
user (and I'm on over 10 debian lists!) I've been a member of this list
since about 1996 so I think I know what I'm doing. :-) I eventually got
it sorted out.
Anyway, just a plea for some decorum. Thanks, back to the flamewars.
To the OP: try this url
http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/unsubscribe
Some people seem to have better luck with the web form as opposed to
the email interface. Otherwise, when sending email make sure the
body contains nothing, not even a signature. Don't even think of PGP
signing your request :-)
