Oh. that's not how I thought it was done. I that that here is the way to
unsubscribe.
1. Write a note to the list asking to be unsubscribed
2. Ken responds with instructions.
3. you follow Ken's instructions.
Keith is violating the rule!
BUT, while I have Keith's attention. Some time ago I pointed out that
whoever is in charge of this list has the capability to add a footer on
each mail (automatically) with any message desired, such as How To
Unsubscribe. The list could also be modified to accept attachments, but
that seems politically sensitive.
But, Keith, perhaps you could add the footer? Instructions on how to do so
are buried in the help files for the list server. Or you could dig through
the archives to find my note about this. So I still have no idea of why it
bounced, but at least they gave me a fix -- which is why the first line is

Grr. I hate listervs. They were designed a century ago and lack all sense
of grace, humility, and most of all, a human-centered design philosophy. My
first attempt to send this got this error message. Most unhelpful in
figuring out what triggered it. Why didn't it say "this string 'xxxxx'
looks like a command, please modify it. Interaction designers: you have a
challenge. (I personally think that Listsrvs should simply die. Free
commercial services such as Google, Yahoo, or Microsoft groups do a far
better job. And they make it much easier to add stuff, to format the text,
to have attachments, and yes, to unsubscribe or to change one's address.)
Your message is being returned to you unprocessed because it looks
like a
LISTSERV command, rather than material intended for distribution to the
members
of the PHD-DESIGN list. Please note that LISTSERV commands must always be
sent
to the LISTSERV address. If it was indeed a command you were
attempting to
issue, then send it again to [log in to unmask] for execution.
Otherwise,
please accept our apologies and try to rewrite the message with a
slightly
different wording - for instance, change the first word of the message,
enclose
it in quotation marks, insert a line of dashes at the beginning of
your
message, etc.
