How to unsubscribe from a mailing list, for dummies.

1. Do not e-mail the list asking to be unsubscribed. Unless the list 
owner is feeling nice, this usually does not work. Plus it is bad 
netiquette, annoys people, and shows your ignorance for all the world to 
see (and in a place that is usually archived).

2. Visit the list maintenance URL for instructions (some also provide 
the interface to unsubscribe you).

2a. If you don't know said URL, go to http://<domain>, where <domain> is 
the domain of the list address (e.g. kde.org), or some logical 
permutation thereof and look for 'lists' or 'mailing lists'.

3. Use those instructions to unsubscribe yourself.

4. If that fails, contact the list owner directly stating that you are 
having problems with the automated list maintenance functions. Telling 
him/her *exactly* what you did, and how it doesn't seem to be working is 
a Really Good Idea. Otherwise he/she will tell you to go do steps 2-3.

5. If 2-4 fail, then AND ONLY THEN should you post to the list directly. 
As in step 4, explaining exactly what you've tried is a Really Good 
Idea. Otherwise you look like an idiot and get responses like this one. :-)
