While I once found it amusing, I'm now in transition from annoyance to
infuriation. And if these folks can't spell the "subscribe" portion of
"unsubscribe" and don't know that list requests go to the list-owner, how in
perdition did they manage to subscribe to start with?
OTOH, Padgett's rule set may require some refining: I'd hate to miss a
follow-up from an smb or mjr (or app for that matter) that began
"Unsubstantiated rubbish.".
