I've unsubscribed you at lunch time today. The procedure I described should
work unless the 'From: ' field in the unsubscribe message does not
correspond to the entry in the omniorb-list. (Your entry is
ruch@voicenet.com and you have 'From: "Scott W. Ruch" <scott@ruch.com>".)
Under this condition, majordomo drops the request as an error to the
maintainer, which for the time being is me. My mail filter collect these
error messages into a sepearate folder which I only read every few
weeks. There are too many messages in the folder about transient mail
delivery errors which are not particularly interesting to read :-)

Could do but this doesn't help with the special cases such as yours.

In future, if anyone is not able to unsubscribe from omniorb-list by
sending the unsubscribe message to omniorb-list-request, please send
unsubscribe to s.lo@orl.co.uk. I should deal with that promptly. 

Regards,

Sai-Lai
