HELP - remove me from this list please !


All attempts to unsubscribe via Majordomo appear to be
ignored or not handled properly.  Can someone please remove
me from the ECOS lists and/or give me another method to try ?
The usual "unsubscribe * <username> thing isn't working at all...

thanks,
MikeF
