How to remove yourself from the list

Maybe an e-mail worm?  It makes no sense that there would be this many
"remove" requests hitting the list so suddenly.  But then looking at the
message headers, there's mix of mail clients involved--everything from
Outlook, to Netscape, to Pine.

Possibly it's a /wetware/ level e-mail worm where the people who've
wanted off the list for a while are imitating the first message--due to
an incorrect assumption that sending "remove" will actually take them
off the list?

Barring that, I'd say attribute it to aliens.
