Moderators get these messages too when we post to the list. There is usually no need to ask us to remove them as we do it as a matter of course. Depending on a number of factors, the address may also get barred from re-subscribing. Please give us a reasonable time to spot and remove them before you prompt us otherwise it is just more spam ;)
