Dear listpeople,

I wouldn't send this kind of message before trying to unsubscribe.
However I now found the problem why it didn't work. The problem was
that I do not get the messages from the list, I get them transparently
forwarded from another address. Considering the amount of mail I 
get each day I deled 95% only by judging of the subject & sender.

I apologize :o)

Hopefully I will manage to get off the list.

I understood that, but I assume there is someone responsible for 
the server. Thus responsible for any malfunctioning software. 
However I apologize now because I found the problem. 

Apparently my rude mail got me some quick help, as for example this email. 

Thank you :)
