Well, judging by the amount of content at http://www.newmodels.com/ I'd
say the webmaster@newmodels.com has plenty of time to read this mailing list.

But his reply was pretty funny.

Guys, it's simple.  Go to
http://www.scyld.com/mailman/listinfo/vortex and enter your email
address in the very bottom entry field.  Hit "Edit Options".

Then enter your password to unsubscribe.  Of course you've
forgotten it.  So hit "email my password to me".  When it
arrives, repeat the above step.

If you can't remember your subscription address then take
a close look at your incoming email headers - they'll have
a hint.
