You know, the more I think about it the more I wonder about the
tradeoff between the possibility that one subscriber might
mischievously unsubscribe another (which seems little more serious
than a sort of practical joke, and a fairly flat one at that) and the
fact that, as Jessica Rasku points out,

Or setting nomail and finding it didn't work . . .

Most of my subscribers use email commands, so the configuration of
website management doesn't much matter -- but in any case I don't
really see that it's a danger much worth preventing.  No matter how
much I disliked you, I can't see that I'd think I was achieving very
much by unubscribing you . . .
