Anyway by essence you can count on those bozos to find out the holes of
such AI software...   By definition they generally manage to get on a
list but *never* (or well I have one unique list where people know how
to leave, maybe because most subscribers are system administrators and
have some experience in that field) keep nor remember instructions on
how to leave.

Those bozos are generally the sames who send messages to the list server
(when existant) and commands to the list...

I already gave up facing user's stupidity !   Next action might be
to filter all mail addressed to listserv@, *-request@ so I won't loose
times every end of school years having people removed from lists.
