Sometimes things are a bit spooky. I'm not sure exactly what's wrong
but I assume that unsubscribe requests are processed using some form
of regex which doesn't always work. For instance, a few months ago I
was subscribed as "nnorman@micromuse.com". I subscribed to all the
debian lists I frequent as "nnorman@incanus.net" and then sent
unsubscribe requests for "nnorman@micromuse.com". Imagine my surprise
when "nnorman@incanus.net" was unsubscribed instead 9and no, I didn't
send the requests from my incanus.net account).
Good luck!

A young man wrote to Mozart and said:
Q: "Herr Mozart, I am thinking of writing symphonies. Can you give me any
suggestions as to how to get started?"
A: "A symphony is a very complex musical form, perhaps you should begin with
some simple lieder and work your way up to a symphony."
Q: "But Herr Mozart, you were writing symphonies when you were 8 years old."
A: "But I never asked anybody how."
