I'm sorry, perhaps I misunderstood you.  In your original request, you
stated that it was a problem to have to confirm an unsubscription
request for lists on which you were going on holidays for a little while.
I read this as implying that at some stage you'd be rejoining.  If this
is not the case, why use the word holiday?

*shrugs*  Beside the point, I suppose.

Have fun,
