Since many of the participants may not be as technically inclined, would
it "hurt" to include a .sig which lists the simple commands such as
unsubcribe?  For instance, the Northern Virginia Linux User Group mail
list, which uses mailman, has:

novalug mailing list
novalug@xxxxxxx
http://www.tux.org/mailman/listinfo/novalug
for subscribe/unsubscribe see web page

Just a thought in being friendly.

Remember, all Windows-based machines are, by definition, fault tolerant.

                They run Windows don't they?!?!?!?
