For example, after subscribing, having to click something ``I understand that the proper way to unsubscribe from the mailing list is by doing $FOO or $BAR, and agree to pay $100 to the Debian mailing list admins if I should ever pester the mailing list about wanting to be unsubscribed'' and then never having mailing list posts mangled when relayed to my mailbox (A suitably legally binding agreement can be discussed on debian-legal.) If subscribers don't want to click that, they can get the unsubscribe reminders in every email in whatever format they want (attachment, simple appending, flash animation popups, etc.). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
