how to unsubscribe.

Your email address is recorded as faqmail@landfield.com. In order to

Your password is "". You will need it if you want
to use the web interface (if you see "" then your password is blank).

If you do not have access to anonymous FTP, you can retrieve it by
sending email to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu with the command

WEB INTERFACE & ARCHIVES

Many people find the web interface to this list much easier to use than
the email commands and includes searchable archives. Everything you can
do with email can also be done through the web interface. The home page
for
this list is <http://lists.consensus.com/FAQ-Maintainers/>

All messages sent to the faq-maintainers list after December 31, 1993
are publicly available at <ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/faq-maintainers/>.
This archive is managed by hand, and messages may take several weeks
to appear there.

Messages from faq-maintainers are also archived at The Internet FAQ
Consortium's WWW mirror, which offers quicker archival, a search
facility, and various formats. See <http://www.faqs.org/#FAQLIST>.

POSTING TO THE LIST

Every time you post a message, hundreds of other people on the list
receive a copy, just as if you sent it to them personally. As a member of
the list, you will receive a copy of every message anyone else sends. On
this list, only members of the list can post to it. However, you should
keep in mind that anything you post will be archived and may be available
to non-list members.

Note that since the faq-maintainers-announce list includes the
faq-maintainers list, you should never address an email message to
both mailing lists; if you do, subscribers to faq-maintainers may
receive duplicates.

To send a message to the list, either reply to a message you receive or
create a new message addressed to FAQ-Maintainers@lists.consensus.com.
<mailto:FAQ-Maintainers@lists.consensus.com>

MORE HUMAN CONTACTS

List owners: news-answers-request@mit.edu
The list is "owned" by the *.answers moderation team. Policy
questions and changes, archival questions, and other requests
which do not concern subscriptions or the actual redistribution of
mail to the list members should be directed to this address.

Emergencies: listmaster@consensus.com and news-answers-request@mit.edu
In case of an "emergency" -- most likely, a mail loop -- please
contact both the list administrators and the list owners. Mention
the list name and describe the problem as completely as possible.

If you recommend the list to people, make sure to give them the
administrative address, so that they do not send a request to the list
itself. Administrative requests sent to the list rather than to the
administrative request address may be misunderstood or ignored.
