Instructions for unsubscibing from the list.
Automatically posted once a week provided
a) the ambient air temperature is 0.01 degrees above normal for this time
of the year.
b) The moon is in the fifth quadrant of Orion and Jupiter is in ascention.
c) It's not a week day...or Public Holiday...or teatime.

Instructions:
1. Randomly select an email recipient and enter "unsubscribe" in the subject
header.
NOTE: It does not matter who the recipient is as invariably the message will
be sent to the SM Mailing List anyway much to everyone's perpetual
amusement.

2. Turn your left sock inside out and roll up your right trouser leg. This
is not strictly essential but will cause much hilarity amongst the rest of
the household.

3. Sacrifice a small farmyard animal. Failing that a root vegetable will
do...carrots are quite good.

4. Package up all of your Epic collection and distribute it amongst the rest
of the recipients currently on the list (worth a try).

5. Type 'unsubscribe' as the body of the message just in case nobody got the
idea from the subject header. This is what is known as a backup. In the
event of your message failing to reach majordomo, the list manager will send
out specially coded web-bots who's task is to scan every e-mail on the
planet until it finds any called unsubscribe...clever eh?

6. Click 'send' then pour treacle into your modem lest it should
inadvertantly attempt to send any further unsubscribe messages to the list.

7. If none of the above should work...try following the instructions sent
via e-mail when you subscribed. That probably won't work either but you
never know until you try :)

Even if none of the above should work it should at least liven up an
otherwise dull day.

Carl :)
