Followup-to: lstsrv-l

First, find out if the list is setup VALIDATE=ALL (if not, the users
should be able to signoff by themselves).  If so ...

Do a RELEASE command to the LISTSERV and find out who the LISTSERV
manager is, and complained to him/her.

If no response, contact the site's Bitnet Techrep or Inforep by e-mail
the following to any Revised listserv (in order to get a nice list):

/* --------------------- clip and save ---------------- */
//ListSrch JOB Echo=no
Database Search DD=Rules
//Rules DD *
S * IN BITEARN WHERE NODE bit_node
p contact
/*
//  EOJ
/* --------------------- clip and save ---------------- */
