On a simpler level, how about: people send an unsubscribe message
to the list address. It gets filtered and forwarded to the list
owner, who unsubscribes them manually. The lesson? "To
unsubscribe, you don't have to learn anything or RTFM; just reply
to the list address, someone will take care of it." That's the
message we give.

Sounds like a recipe for cluelessness and dependence to me.
