As much as I love you all, I’d prefer to not receive e-mails from the  
mailing list and just read messages on Google. However, # off to  
ruby-talk-ctl and # unsubscribe have not done the trick. I’ve also  
e-mailed ruby-talk-admin and no response. What’s the secret? Thanks.

Sorry. Ruby-talk is like the Hotel California…

But seriously, the headers of every message here say:

List-Unsubscribe: [mailto:removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid?body=unsubscribe](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid?body=unsubscribe)

So did you send an email to ‘removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid’ with  
only ‘unsubscribe’ in the body?

If so then I guess there is a configuration snafu or bug in the mailing  
list  
software.
