Put the following in the header:

* REMOVAL OF THE FOLLOWING WILL RESULT IN REMOVAL OF THE LIST
* <your info here>

Then do it.  Word will get around. ;)

(Actually, we use this instead:

* ****** List Owners DO NOT DELETE the next line ******
* VTECLASS LIST    ACIS4554 4087                      *
* Fall 1999                                           *
* ****** List Owners DO NOT DELETE the above line *****

We've only had to resort to a baseball bat a few times. ;)
