I presume that all the AERA lists are managed by the same Listserv.  Send
 a message to that LISTSERV saying:  tell listserv del * schmo@nowhere
 That will remove Schmo from ALL lists managed by that Listserv.  Of
 course if Schmo also subscribed to other, non-AERA, lists on that
 Listserv he/she would find himself deleted from them as well.
 However it might be worth your or his/her worthwhile to get removed
 from a dozen lists with one command and then to resub to the other
 one or two individually.
