Removing yourself from this list

[Kathy H.]

When we joined this list, we were given instructions on how to
post to the list and how to send commands to the list.  Here it is,
for those of you who did not save it.

Let me point out this one part:

     You may leave the list at any time by sending a
     "SIGNOFF SLLING-L" command to
     LISTSERV at ADMIN.HUMBERC.ON.CA


Please save this message for future  reference, especially if this is
the first time you subscribe to an  electronic mailing list. If you ever
need to  leave the  list,  you  will find  the  necessary instructions
below.  Perhaps  more importantly,  saving a  copy of  this message
(and of all future subscription notices  from other mailing lists) in  a
specialmail folder will give you instant access to the list of mailing lists
that you are subscribed  to. This may  prove very useful the  next
time you go on vacation and  need to leave  the lists temporarily so
as not to fill up your  mailbox while  you  are away!  You should also
save the "welcome messages" from the  list owners that you will
occasionally receive after subscribing to a new list.

To send  a message to  all the people  currently subscribed to  the
list, just send  mail to SLLING-L at ADMIN.HUMBERC.ON.CA. This  is
called "sending mail to the list", because you send mail to a single
address and LISTSERV makes  copies  for all  the  people  who  have
subscribed.  This address (SLLING-L at ADMIN.HUMBERC.ON.CA)  is also
called the  "list address". You must  never try  to send  any command
to that  address, as  it would be distributed to all  the people who
have subscribed. All  commands must be sent to the "LISTSERV
address", LISTSERV at ADMIN.HUMBERC.ON.CA. It is very important
to understand  the difference between the  two, but fortunately
it is  not complicated. The  LISTSERV address is  like a FAX  number
that connects you  to a  machine, whereas  the list address  is like
a normal voice line connecting you to a person. If you make a mistake
and dial the FAX number  when you  wanted to talk  to someone on
the phone,  you will quickly realize  that you used the wrong number
and call  again. No harm will have been done. If on the  other hand
you accidentally make your FAX call someone's voice line, the person
receiving the call will be inconvenienced, especially if your FAX then
re-dials every 5 minutes.  The fact that  most people  will eventually
connect the  FAX machine  to the voice line to  allow the FAX to
go through and make the  calls stop does not mean  that you
should continue  to send FAXes  to the  voice number.  People
would just get mad at you.  It works pretty much the same way
withmailing  lists, with  the difference  that  you are  calling hundreds
or thousands of people  at the same time, and consequently you
can expect a lot of people to get upset if  you consistently send
commands to the list address.

You  may leave  the list  at  any time  by sending  a "SIGNOFF
SLLING-L" command to  LISTSERV at ADMIN.HUMBERC.ON.CA.
You can also  tell LISTSERV how you want it to  confirm the
receipt of messages you send  to the list.  If you do  not trust
the system,  send a "SET  SLLING-L REPRO"  command and
LISTSERV will send you  a copy of your own messages, so that
you can see that the  message was  distributed and did not get
damaged on  the way.  After a while  you may find that this is
getting annoying, especially if your mail program does not tell
you  that the message is from you when it informs you that new
mail has arrived from SLLING-L. If  you send a "SET SLLING-L
ACK   NOREPRO"  command,  LISTSERV   will  mail  you   a short
acknowledgement  instead,  which  will  look different  in  your
mailbox directory. With most mail programs you will know
immediately that this is an  acknowledgement  you  can  read
later. Finally,  you  can  turn off acknowledgements completely
with "SET SLLING-L NOACK NOREPRO".

Following  instructions from  the list  owner, your  subscription
options have been  set to "REPRO MIME"  rather than the usual
LISTSERV defaults.  For more information about subscription
options, send a "QUERY SLLING-L" command to
LISTSERV at ADMIN.HUMBERC.ON.CA.

Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can
get a list  of the  available  archive  files by  sending  an "INDEX
SLLING-L" command to  LISTSERV at ADMIN.HUMBERC.ON.CA.
You can then  order these files with  a "GET  SLLING-L  LOGxxxx"
command,  or  using LISTSERV's database search facilities. Send
an "INFO DATABASE" command  for more information on the latter.

This  list is  available  in digest  form.  If you  wish  to receive
the digested  version of  the  postings,  just issue  a  SET SLLING-L
DIGEST command.

Please note that  it is presently possible for other  people to
determine that  you are  signed up  to the  list through  the
use  of the "REVIEW" command,  which  returns   the  e-mail
address and name of all the subscribers. If  you do not  want
your name to  be visible, just  issue a "SET SLLING-L CONCEAL"
command.

More  information on  LISTSERV  commands  can be  found  in
the LISTSERV reference  card, which  you can  retrieve  by
sending  an "INFO REFCARD" command to
LISTSERV at ADMIN.HUMBERC.ON.CA.
