Dear Fellow Museum-Listers,

Given the frequent (need I add, desperate) pleas from fellow Museum-L'ers
for instructions on how to leave our happy list, I thought the following
instructions re: unsubscribing might prove amusing. Believe it or not, this
actually came off a lawyers list, which just goes to prove that even
lawyers sometimes have a sense of humor!

Cheers,

>Here are instructions for getting off the list.  Note that the
>procedure is quite different from that of getting ON the list,
>as you might expect.
>
>
>
>First, ask your Internet Provider to mail you an Unsubscribing Kit.
>Then follow these directions.
>
>The kit will most likely be the standard no-fault type. Depending on
>requirements, System A and/or System B can be used. When operating
>System A, depress lever and a plastic dalkron unsubscriber will be
>dispensed through the slot immediately underneath. When you have
>fastened the adhesive lip, attach connection marked by the large "X"
>outlet hose. Twist the silver-coloured ring one inch below the
>connection point until you feel it lock.
>
>The kit is now ready for use. The Cin-Eliminator is activated by the
>small switch on the lip. When securing, twist the ring back to its
>initial condition, so that the two orange lines meet. Disconnect. Place
>the dalkron unsubscriber in the vacuum receptacle to the rear. Activate
>by pressing the blue button.
>
>The controls for System B are located on the opposite side. The red
>release switch places the Cin-Eliminator into position; it can be
>adjusted manually up or down by pressing the blue manual release button.
>The opening is self-adjusting. To secure after use, press the green
>button, which simultaneously activates the evaporator and returns the
>Cin-Eliminator to its storage position.
>
>You may log off if the green exit light is on over the evaporator . If
>the red light is illuminated, one of the Cin-Eliminator requirements has
>not been properly implemented. Press the "List Guy" call button on the
>right of the evaporator. He will secure all facilities from his control
>panel.
>
>To use the Auto-Unsub, first undress and place all your clothes in the
>clothes rack. Put on the velcro slippers located in the cabinet
>immediately below. Enter the shower, taking the entire kit with you. On
>the control panel to your upper right upon entering you will see a
>"Shower seal" button. Press to activate. A green light will then be
>illuminated immediately below. On the intensity knob, select the desired
>setting. Now depress the Auto-Unsub activation lever. Bathe normally.
>
>The Auto-Unsub will automatically go off after three minutes unless you
>activate the "Manual off" override switch by flipping it up. When you
>are ready to leave, press the blue "Shower seal" release button. The door
>will open and you may leave. Please remove the velcro slippers and place
>them in their container.
>
>If you prefer the ultrasonic log-off mode, press the indicated blue
>button. When the twin panels open, pull forward by rings A & B. The knob
>to the left, just below the blue light, has three settings, low, medium
>or high. For normal use, the medium setting is suggested.
>
>After these settings have been made, you can activate the device by
>switching to the "ON" position the clearly marked red switch. If during
>the unsubscribing operation, you wish to change the settings, place the
>"manual off" override switch in the "OFF" position. You may now make the
>change and repeat the cycle. When the green exit light goes on, you may
>log off and have lunch. Please close the door behind you.
