   Subject:  How to unsubscribe from this list

   No, I'm not trying to give anybody here a hint. :)

   "Adania" asked how to do this, and a few people have sent futile
   "unsubscribe" messages to the list. So ....

   1. Send a blank message, without a title, to
      bm-chicago-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com

   2. Wait for a little while. A confirmation letter will arrive.

   3. Send a blank reply to this letter. Do not include the body
      of the letter in your reply. Send your reply to the "reply-to"
      address, instead of to the address the letter came from.
      (Don't worry, most e-mail software will walk you through
      this one).

   See, very simple. Messages to the list saying "please unsubscribe me"
   won't work, though. Why ? Because the evidence does seem pretty solid
   that Mr. Buckman is not really the list owner, as much as he likes
   to pretend he is. Observe the fact that he is unable to change group
   settings, that he doesn't know who the current moderators are, and
   that when he tries to "ban" somebody, that somebody is still posting
   here days later.

   Check the archives. You'll find somebody who definitely looks like
   the owner. (He made one of the first posts). He hasn't been by in
   ages. This means that when one sends a "please unsubscribe me"
   message, there isn't anybody seeing that message who can help one
   out with that, except oneself. This list has been abandoned.
