I finally accomplished unsubscribing (I hope) by logging into my account on 
Nextdoor.com <http://nextdoor.com/> and discovering way at the bottom of one of 
the webpages the option to “Deactivate my account.”

It looks like "different people" have "signed" the letter to different parts of 
town. Neither of the names appear in the Lincoln Phone Book (although it is a
