Dear LM_NET Colleague,

In the event that you want to quit/sign off from LM_NET....

  1.  Send these words in the first (and only) line of a message:
      signoff lm_net
                     *Please do not include any other words in the
                      message, including signature files!

  2.  Send your signoff message to:  listserv@listserv.syr.edu
                      and you will be dropped.
                      (No other words are necessary.)

  Important Note for Netscape Mail Users:
    Netscape and perhaps some other graphical e-mailers require
confirmation. The Listserv software recognized that Netscape and certain
other e-mail software allows easy faking of return addresses, so Listserv
has built in a response confirmation required checking system for all
signoff requests from such e-mailers. In this case, please allow time to
reply to the automated message that you will receive very soon after
requesting to sign off!


  P L E A S E do _NOT_ send the message to LM_NET. It will go to 7,000+
members of the discussion group, creating ill will and consternation among
our happy members.

  Send it ONLY to:  listserv@listserv.syr.edu

  If you are unable to sign-off alone, contact the managers-owners of the
list, and ask them to remove you (pmilbury@ericir.syr.edu or
mike@ericir.syr.edu).  We will do it as soon as it is humanly possible.


  An alternative also exists, if you are just going away for awhile:

     * * * *   Temporarily Stopping Mail From LM_NET   * * * *

  If you want to stop receiving mail from LM_NET for a period of time, all
you have to do is send a specific message to the listserv computer which
handles LM_NET mail.

  Send the message to this address:  listserv@listserv.syr.edu

  On the first (and only) line of the message, type:

    set lm_net nomail

  To restart your LM_NET mail, send to the same address, the following:

    set lm_net mail
