-====== Mailing Lists ====== 
- 
-===== Why am I subscribed? ===== 
-For now suffice it to say that if you ever took a course here you probably have a CS account. By default we subscribe you (cnet@uchicago or cnet@cs.uchicago.edu depending on the time frame) to the cs@mailman.cs.uchicago.edu mailing list.  
-As a CS computer account holder we need a method to communicate with you. Mailing lists are one of the best ways to do so. 
- 
-===== Unsubscribing ===== 
-If you no longer want to receive the emails from any list in our department there is a link located at the bottom of every email sent out by the list host that allows you to unsubscribe. 
-The link you are looking for will look something like this:  
-<code> 
-  https://mailman.cs.uchicago.edu/mailman/listinfo/cs 
-</code> 
-On the bottom of this page you will see a text box: 
-<code> 
-To unsubscribe from cs, get a password reminder, or change your subscription options enter your subscription email address: 
-__________________________ [ Unsubscribe or edit options ] 
-</code> 
- 
-This is where it gets a bit tricky because depending on what time your account was created we will have used your [[cnetid@cs.uchicago.edu]] (auto forward to [[cnetid@uchicago.edu]]) or [[cnetid@uchicago.edu]] email address. If you are unsure which email is being used just pick one and enter it into the textbox shown above. 
- 
-After entering in the correct email you will be presented with a screen where you will be able to actually click the button to unsubscribe. Click this and you will be emailed a confirmation email. Click the link in said email and you are done. 
- 
-===== Why is this so complicated? ===== 
-There isn't any good reason... Just that the list host has existed for many years.
