I tend to agree.

Actually, if you take a closer look, all the messages like that which
go out to Firewalls are ones where the person has misspelled
"subscribe" or "unsubscribe" or done something else that circumvents
the otherwise very effective administrivia filter. For every
administrivia message that _does_ make it out to the list, the filter
catches at least 10 that it keeps from making it to the list.
