Anyone can unsubscribe anybody else. Take a look at this portion of the letter I received from majordomo@freebsd.org after resubscribing: ------------ Welcome to the freebsd-newbies mailing list! Please save this message for future reference. Thank you. If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-newbies or from another account, besides fewtch@serv.net: unsubscribe freebsd-newbies fewtch@serv.net ------------ BTW, thanks for understanding why I would be upset. If someone unsubscribed YOU from the list without your knowledge or consent I think you would be too, and that goes for anyone else on the list as well.
