Hi Chris, re. Angus, Dave:
Coincidentally, I actually looked this up yesterday on the web in order 
to tell
someone else how to subscribe, because I'd forgotten.
The instruction there was, as you say in the first part, go to the address:
majordomo@chebucto.ns.ca
but in the subject line, in addition to "subscribe", add the list 
identifier, so
type in:

subscribe NatureNS

Presumably unsubscribing would have the same format, namely:

unsubscribe NatureNS

This was the specific instruction about subscribing given on-line, so if in
unsubscribing the word "NatureNS" is omitted and <majordomo@chebucto.ns.ca>
controls more than one list, how would it know which list you are 
unsubscribing
from?  Maybe it has a blanket delete that deletes you from every list 
on there,
so "unsubscibe" alone would work anyway (?).  Might be mildly interesting to
get this conundrum resolved, at least for one person, me.
Steve
