[kj]Peter is Actually Still Quite Right

Dood, if a few emails get to you this much, you really need to take a 
step back and reevaluate your existence. ;-)

Send and email to this address: gathering-request at misera.net

Send with 'unsubscribe' in the subject line, no need to add anything to 
the body of the message. The software will unsub you automatically. You 
will then get a confirmation email to leave. Really simple.
