  Oh, you mean *this* one!

  You just wanna follow the instructions at 

> Unsubscribe info:      http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

  I've tried submitting your email address to the unsubscribe page.  Normally
it would be very wrong to submit someone else's email address, but you did ask
for help!

  If you haven't changed your email address since you subscribed, you should
be getting an unsubscribe confirmation message any time now.


    cheers,

Let's see how many netiquette rules were broken in posting to a public list...

According to Tariq Abbas on 4/19/2006 4:15 AM:
> HELP	

Yeah - when you changed the subject line, you dropped the In-Reply-To
headers, so at least you didn't commandeer a thread.  However, since you
included the full text of a message from another thread, I suspect that it
is really a case of you having a bad mail client that doesn't know how to
respect In-Reply-To headers, and that had you used a real email client,
you probably would have violated this rule too.

Ouch - you didn't read the list FAQ at
http://sourceware.org/lists.html#faq, including question 6 "Unsubscribing,
I'm desparate".  Otherwise you wouldn't have sent your unsubscribe request
to the list.

Ouch - you included an unenforceable piece of legalese trash at the botton
of your message.  This list is publicly archived, so any message sent here
is automatically world-readable, contrary to any claim in your footer.  It
is good netiquette to set up a webmail account that does not impose stupid
footers when posting to a public list, if your place of employment is so
bold as to attach a footer in your behalf.

Ouch - your footer is longer than your email!  It is good netiquette to
limit a footer to 4 or 5 lines at the most.

Oops - you posted raw email addresses in your message.  I munged them, but
you should avoid feeding spammers.  http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PCYMTNQREAIYR

 This is bad netiquette, since no one likes http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#TOFU

Based on your track record, I hope your unsubscribe request goes through
quickly (and re-read that FAQ for ideas on how to do it properly).

  He sent me a mail saying "How do I get off this list"?

  Alas, as he sent it to me off-list, and didn't say which list he was talking
about, and hadn't yet posted here, I couldn't offer much advice except "We're
not on a list"!
