No way! This list is for life!
O_O
... only joking! :-)
INSTRUCTIONS to "UN-subscribe" (sic.):
1. Go here: http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/lists.xml
2. Read the first few paragraphs and apply what is suggested there for the
digest lists.
Alternatively,
3. Go to your gmail account.
4. Open any message from this list, like this one for example.
5. Click on the drop down menu that says "More" when you hover your mouse over
it (top right corner of the message frame).
6. Select "Show original".
7. Read the headers of the message, very carefully.
8. Do what it suggests next to "List-Unsubscribe:"
Good luck!
