  Any listowner worth his/he salt reads or at least skims the list at least
once a day.  Anyone sends an unsbu to the list, I zap them immediately.
I know some listowners seem really compulsive about sending the person
messages on how to unsub and so forth....I'm on a couple of those lists.
But since it usually takes a few iterations to get it thru their heads,
I jsut zap them.  It is as easy as sending them a form letter, so why
not just delete them?

  True enough, but since I can do nothing about that, I just zap them
VERY quickly if their mailbox overflows, etc.  They are told that.
 
   I just do it the easiest way possible.
