I think people are missing that part because the first thing that catches
their eye below the "Firewalls Subscribers" header is the italicized text
that says, "The subscribers list is only available to the list
administrator."  I bet a lot of people see that and don't read any further.

The "To change your subscription..." stuff should be at the top of that
section, not the admin only subscriber list function.  I'm not sure why they
even put that admin function there when they have the "Firewalls
administrative interface" link, clearly delineated with a line separator,
below that section.  I think there would be fewer unsubscribe messages going
to the list if they changed that.
