Matt,

Please UNsubscribe me from all lists; I have tried several times to unsubscribe
using the links:  "*** How to Subscribe and Unsubscribe ***.

None of my attempts have been successful!

Maybe it's me, maybe it's my computer, maybe it's the Russians  I don't know; but
please help me with this UNsubscribe issue.

Thank you very much, Mark

******************************************************************************
                    LycomingEngines-List Usage Guidelines
******************************************************************************

The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the LycomingEngines-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the LycomingEngines-List in the manner described below may result

in the removal of the subscribers from the List.


LycomingEngines-List Policy Statement

The purpose of the LycomingEngines-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group.  The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation.  Reaching these goals 
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of 
the List.  To this end, the following guidelines have been established:


- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level.  Do not submit
  posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
  lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.

- THINK carefully before you write.  Ask yourself if your post will be
  relevant to everyone.  If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.

- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
  that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate.  Try to be concise and
  terse in your posts.  Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
  responses.

- Keep your signature brief.  Please include your name, email address,
  aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location.  A short line
  about where you are in the building process is also nice.  Avoid
  bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
  space in the archive.

- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
  easily obtainable from other widely available sources.  Consult the
  web page or FAQ first.

- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
  your response the same as that of the original post.  This makes it
  easy to find threads in the archive.

- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
  response.  DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
  reader to the topic at hand, but be selective.  The impact that
  quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive 
  can not be overstated!

- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
  then go ahead and reply to the List.  Be aware that clicking the
  "reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
  response to the original poster.  You might have to actively address
  your response with the original poster's email address.

- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
  to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal.  "Way to go!", "I
  agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
  to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.

- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
  comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
  contribute something valuable.

- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
  polite and respectful.  Don't make snide comments, personally attack
  other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
  controversial issue.  This will only cause a pointless debate that
  will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.

- Occasional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularly 
  subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable.  Posts by 
  List members promoting their respective products or items for sale 
  should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble 
  a typical SPAM message.  The List isn't about commercialism, but 
  is about sharing information and knowledge.  This applies to 
  everyone, including those who provide products to the entire 
  community.  Informal presentation and moderation should be the 
  operatives with respect to advertising on the Lists.
