Darren Reed asked:

David Schwarz replied:

Asking a question isn't the same as making a threat.  In any case, why
don't we simply give a frustrated Darren an answer?

>From personal experience, the following works for getting off com-priv:

Send a message to 
  listproc@lists.psi.com 
with the following in the body of the message and the subject line:
  signoff com-priv <the e-mail name under which you're subscribed>

Note: if you include a "signature" at the bottom of the message, there's
always the remote chance that it will confuse the list processor, so
don't.

I know that the <unsubscribe> is supposed to work the same as <signoff>,
but I can bear personal witness to <unsubscribe> not working.
