It seems people still don't know how to unsubscribe, *dispite the red,
bold text on the website*!

Go to this page to unsubscribe:

Question : Since the mailing list header gives two different unsubscription
URLs, why does neither of them match the one just given?

Has anyone ever heard of a mailing list daemon that unsubscribes people who
send messages to the mailing list (not to the daemon) with "unsubscribe" in
the body?  That seems to be the single biggest mistake, so it seems like it
would be a lot easier to fix the daemon than to have flame wars several
times a month with people who can't figure out how to get off the list...

Actually, https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dev-cpp-users is
the correct place to unsubscribe.
However, for some strange reason people still can't figure that out, so
this page:
http://www.noicys.cjb.net/devcpp/ub.htm
was created, with complete instructions and screenshots on how to
unsubscribe.

There's nothing I can do about the daemon (if there is one), since it's
on SourceForge's servers. It's up so SourceForge to decide that.
