You are right, but that doesn't account for people sending their
requests to the list itself. I had some difficulty re-subscribing my
adddress after it was booted due to system downtime. (my mail
handlers were down for almost a week) At first I was able to
resubscribe, then I would be promptly unsubscribed! I eventually used
a different address to subscribe, and stopped that problem, though I
expect it would have gone away over time. In addition, sometimes I
never got the confirmation mail, or it would take hours to receive it.
Perseverence wins, though, not sending requests to the list or whining
on the list.
