That fact did not escape me. It also doesn't grant any special license to
flat-out ignore what I wrote -- especially when responding to a message
*from* me.

I think you have a very expansive notion of what your "rights" are. I
guess you don't post to newsgroups.

We've already been over this point. Let's count the number of users who
actually do this, versus those who just send mail to the listowner and
expect them to take care of it. Do we need a show of hands? Maybe we
can dissect some random samples of log files to see how often a 'who' is
followed immediately by an 'unsubscribe' from the same user.
