Many of us have suddenly found our in-boxes filled with huge amounts of
e-mail, none of which has unsubscribe information.  None of us got any
sort of e-mail about being subscribed to this service, and most (if not
all) of us don't know how on earth we got on this list.

A couple of points for whoever's in charge:

1.  Don't sign up people for discussion groups without telling them.
2.  Make sure to include unsubscribe information in EVERY e-mail.
3.  It's probably illegal to put ppl on the list like this (I think
    the SPAM laws require unsubscibe info) - Ooops.  Be careful guys!
4.  An apology to those who have gotten upset might very well be in order.

Someone please tell us how to unsubscribe.  Please don't yell at us -
no one *ever* told us how to do it.

LWM
