Keep in mind that sometimes you might not subscribe under the address
you think you've subscribed under. One method of figuring out where
Majordomo is sending mail is to send a message to Majordomo_at_...
with the body "who space-marine" and nothing else. You'll get back a
list of subscribers, by e-mail address. Running down the list, I note
that I'm somehow subscribed twice... curious. But it's a good
demonstration of how the server can be very finnicky, as my two
subscriptions are:

Mithramuse+_at_...
Mithramuse+_at_...

As you can see, quite close, but oh-so-far apart. So, ask Majordomo for
the list of who's on space-marine, find an e-mail address that looks
like yours, and then send in "unsubscribe space-marine <your e-mail
address>" Basically, leave nothing to chance and specify your
address... I think it has you listed as "tkilgore_at_..." while my
server IDs you as something else, _at_mai -something. (See above, the
"Excerpts" line.) So that may be why Majordomo is confused.

Good luck, and sorry for the semi-admin foo.
