b-greek-request is NOT b-greek

Some people seem to be sending mails to 
b-greek-request at franklin.oit.unc.edu when they want to post to 
b-greek at franklin.oit.unc.edu. These two different email lists do quite 
different things.

If you post to b-greek at franklin.oit.unc.edu, your mail is treated as a post 
for this list. If you post to b-greek-request at franklin.oit.unc.edu, your 
mail is treated as a request to subscribe to this list, unsubscribe, or do 
a variety of obscure things that list administrators do. If you send mail 
to b-greek-request, it tries to figure out what kind of subscription 
request you are trying to make, and sends an error message if it can't 
figure it out. For instance, it might say that you are already subscribed 
to the list if it can't figure out what you're really trying to do.
