Chernobyl at SIMSOC..

[cgl]

Hi Folks....

  Clearly the SIMSOC list has gone critical and is experiencing a Chernobyl
style melt-down....

  Somehow swarm-support itself is on the simsoc's list, even though the
listserve software insists it is not....

  Sorry about the massive redistribution of their problem - we're trying
to prevent these messages from getting to swarm-support and hence to you,
but its really a problem with SIMSOC...

  In the meantime - the main problem is everybody trying to unsubscribe
from SIMSOC without knowing how to do it...there are now several 
versions of the proper way to unsubscribe floating around, and some
of them clearly don't work...

  For now....Do not send *any* mail to simsoc at *any* address, as it just
compounds the problem - I'm sure they are working on it to try to fix it,
and if you bear with a bit more chain-reaction type messages, they will
eventually go away. If you respond, you sustain the chain-reaction..

  We're trying to find out *the* proper way to unsubscribe from their
list, but as long as lists of lists are on their lists, just unsubscribing
yourself probably won't work - *you* personally are probably not 
subscribed at all, just a list that you are on....

  Again - if you respond to simsoc in anyway, you promote the chain-reaction,
if everybody stops responding to simsoc, the chain-reaction will die out...
And I'm *sure* the maintainers of simsoc are tearing their hair-out at
the moment in order to fix the problem....

  so - patience is virtual.....
