The correct way to deal with list *problems* on list is to mail to -request (i.e. djgpp-request for you). When you unsubscribe, that stops *new* messages from being sent to you. there is a delay between unsubscribing and when you stop getting messages. For example, there are 53 messages for a total of 2143 deliveries (there are 216 subscribers) in the queue at delorie.com. These aren't affected by subscription changes. BTW I checked the lists and the mail queue and there are no cyberhighways on either, so you should no longer get new mail. DJ
