My stats are a little higher, and specific to political/chat lists
where egos and tempers tended to run high. On three occasions we
had unsub wars rather than "admit defeat" in an argument. As the
list announced unsubs to the list (but not subs) the apparent intent
was to create the impression that the other person had left rather
than lose the point.
