Yes,
And wouldn't this world be a better place if all people were replaced by
androids too.

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.
