Just a little note, as far as I know, nobody's manually subscribing
or unsubscribing people to and/or from the list. If I'm feeling
particularly sorry for somebody who sends a message to the list
saying "subscribe me please", I send them a note to try to send
mail to the -request address. :-)
But, It'd be nice if the demonsys.com docs were updated to correctly
reflect the subscription mechanism. I'll see if I can post them
a note about it...
