It's a pity you want to leave the list. But yes, of course, you can
remove yourself from the list. Once you've subscribed, you received a
welcome message with relevant informations.

An option is to send an empty email
to:           address@hidden
with subject: unsubscribe

Then, you have to reply to a confirmation email.

Regards,
Andrey


P.S. Please, choose "reply all" when you're answering mails from a mailing list
