This happens every once in a while.  Hopefully by posting this message, it
will be prevented from happening more that it is going on right now.

As many people know, to receive info-minix you send a message to
"Info-Minix-Request@udel.edu" politely asking for a "subscription". Every
once in a while this message gets sent to "Info-Minix" instead and the
request is sent out to everyone on the list.

This is not good, but people ignore it and sometimes the person gets added
to the list anyway.

The problem is that some people think that the person is asking for a
subscription to something else.  Then they send out a message asking
"please subscribe me too" which also gets sent to everyone on the list.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not help propagate this problem!

If you are getting this message you ALREADY HAVE A SUBSCRIPTION!
