Let's not turn this into a flame war, folks.  This is typically a very
civil group.

OK, maybe that could have been said a little more tactfully (<wink>),
but the point is that all the information you need to stop your
subscription is included right there in the message you replied to.

I have been participating on this list for several months now and have
rarely if ever seen a spam message sent to it.  As this is a
subscription-based mailing list, the only way to receive mail from it is
if you have been subscribed, either by your own choice or by someone
subscribing you without your permission.  This confirmation e-mail is
intended to prevent such malicious subscriptions by requiring the person
at the destination e-mail address to confirm that they did in fact want
the subscription.

If someone else subscribed you, or if you subscribed yourself and then
changed your mind, you can simply ignore the confirmation message as
stated in the last paragraph and you will not receive any further
messages.  If you are certain that someone else subscribed you without
your permission, then you can report that to the list owner at the
specified e-mail address rather than to the entire list.  If you have
already confirmed your subscription, then a link is included at the
bottom of every message received from the list that will allow you to
unsubscribe yourself.
