The posting address is: san-diego-pm-list at hfb.pm.org

List requests should be sent to: majordomo at hfb.pm.org

If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list,
you can send mail to <majordomo at happyfunball.pm.org> with the following
command in the body of your email message:

    unsubscribe san-diego-pm-list

If you ever need to get in contact with the owner of the list,
(if you have trouble unsubscribing, or have questions about the
list itself) send email to <owner-san-diego-pm-list at happyfunball.pm.org> .
This is the general rule for most mailing lists when you need
to contact a human.
