Who the heck is this "majordomo" guy?! Was he a really a major and is
"domo" his real name? What's his shtick? Where did he come from. A
concise history lesson might be nice to hear from some learned person.

Subject: [SLUG] HOWTO Unsubscribe from SLUG
> Occasionally, a few members of our mailing list are so overwhelmed
> that they feel the need to unsubscribe to catch their breath.
> However, these rugged individualists eschew the automated process
> provided in each e-mail and prefer the "do-it-yourself" route. As a
> public service we provide these manual instructions which were
> pillaged from elsewhere and sanitized for your protection:
>
> TO UNSUBSCRIBE FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE DIRECTIONS..........
>
> To unsubscribe from this service you must first purchase a Craft-O-
> Matic Adjustable Subscription Cancellation Unit.
>
> The unit can be obtained from most hardware stores and dental
> clinics. Be sure to obtain the proper permits to operate the unit
> from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Food and Drug
> Administration in Washington D.C. USA.
>
> Be sure to carefully unpack the kit and place each component in its
> accompanying mesh safety bag. Mount the Pershing DF4 mesinator on top
> of the perforated Gerring Mach 77 refibulator and attach them using
> the eight-millimeter torque fork. Be sure that the refibulator is
> mounted at a 66 degree angle and properly dispersed so that it is
> flush with the curved section of the Pyrex thistle tube. Place the
> four sections of the triangular separation gear into the posture
> cylinder and lock them into place using the band aid adhesive strip.
>
> Insert the wiggling pin into the wobbling hole, making sure that it
> seated correctly. Place the D cell battery and the eleven 9volt
> batteries in the power chamber.
>
> The device should be calibrated before operation using the optional
> digital corkscrew accessory pack prior to operation. Insert the
> digital corkscrew through the electronic combustion service chamber
> using caution not to touch the reinforced tungsten igniter control
> module and quickly turn the inverter drive to 28.6 degrees.
>
> Turn the Craft-O-Matic Adjustable Subscription Cancellation Unit
> upside down and hit the bottom plate with a 48-ounce ball-peen hammer
> while shaking the unit vigorously. Force open the door to the
> incineration valve compartment and set the pressure gauge to 719 psi.
> Close the door and seal it shut with duct tape.
>
> The unit should now be properly calibrated and ready to use. Before
> activating the Craft-O-Matic Adjustable Subscription Cancellation
> Unit, you must first elevate it to a height of 229 feet above sea
> level to insure that the unit receives the proper oxygen level and
> barometric pressure. Point the aerial to 17 degrees north by
> northeast to within the parameters of the Telstar GS-2 weather
> satellite and apply pressure to the wing shaft on the southern most
> section of the modular accelerator. Using the special ratchet adapter
> supplied with the unit, rotate the heater core to the "on" position.
> The "on" position has been obtained when the green light begins to
> flash, signifying that the red light is about to go off. Once the red
> light is off, flip the toggle switch labeled "ON/OFF" to the "ON"
> position and count to 47 before logging on to the system.
>
> Logon using your username and password and wait for the prompt. Once
> prompted you must check the box with the appropriate action you wish
> to take and then press the pressure release button and turn off the
> compressor while turning the hand crank at 231 meters per minute.
> Next, press control, alt, delete, caps lock, shift, number lock,
> escape and tab simultaneously.
> Press enter.
>
> You will have one second to complete the procedure. If you fail to
> respond in the time limit allowed, simply purchase a new Craft-O-
> Matic Adjustable Subscription Cancellation Unit and start from the
> beginning. Please remember that this is the only way we will accept
> for you to unsubscribe from this service. We have made every attempt
> to simplify the procedure for your convenience. Failure to comply
> with the unsubscribe policy will result in immediate termination of
> your subscription to everything - including magazines, newspapers
> and library card. So please follow the above directions.
>
> Or, you could just follow the automatic unsubscribe instructions at
> the bottom of this e-mail.
