Waste of bandwidth. Trust me, I run multiple mailing lists elsewhere. A person
who didn't bother to keep the signup instructions also selectively ignores those
footer messages. Proceeding even further down the spiral, I've seen more than
one person reply "HOW DO I GET OFF THIS LIST" -- to a message from myself
outlining the unsubscribe instructions for another hapless user.
I have little sympathy or respect for these people. I have yet to see a list
that doesn't send you a message upon subscribe containing the unsubscribe
instructions, along with a big all-caps note saying "PLEASE KEEP THIS FOR YOUR
FUTURE REFERENCE". These people probably throw away instruction booklets on
household appliances, too.
