***VERY VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT POST TEST MESSAGES TO THE LIST!!! If you
think you've been unsubscribed, see the section below
"* I think I've been unsubscribed.  What do I do now?"

* I THINK I'VE BEEN UNSUBSCRIBED.  WHAT DO I DO NOW?

If the ML seems too quiet and you think you've been unsubscribed, just try
subscribing again.  It won't let you be subscribed twice so you don't have
to worry about getting tons of double posts if you haven't been
unsubscribed.  DO NOT send test messages to the ML.

THIS IS AN ERROR-

Zen tried that the other day - ended up getting two copies of *everything*
- The list *will* let you subscribe more than once!  (Though it was wasy
enough to fix - it only unsubbed one set when Zen tried that...


The biggest thing to remember is that traffic from the list is sporadic at
best, for reasons unknown.  Ghoddess knows why the messages get sent out in
the order that they do, but Zen has gotten replies to mesages from the ML
DAYS before the original message.  Be patient.  Odds are, the routers are
just acting funny, and in a few hours, your box will once more be full of
