Re: Unscribe
I recommend that other subscribers ignore these "Please unsubscribe me" posts and leave it to the list moderators to deal with off-list. We cannot prevent the initial post from being delivered, but if it is ignored we eliminate (reduce) the number of repeated and sometimes unnecessarily insulting, "How to unsubscribe" posts cluttering our lists. As moderators it is part of our responsibility to assist subscribers and non-subscribers with list issues and as Peter has stated we have the facility to unsubscribe someone if requested to do so. FYI I unsubscribed Jeff from this list two days ago.

Unsubsribe -is- broken
The unsubsribe does not work. This is first of all obvious from the number of complaints to the list. It is beside the point that the process sometimes or even usually works. Counting the number of people it works for is pointless. Instead count the number who have complained. The first unsubsribe email works, at least to the point where one receives the auto confirm. That there even is a confirm is madness. It is also quite possibly illegal as removing oneself from auto mailers has been regulated. From the moment a user wishes to absent themselves from this list and going forward you are spam. Of course, like all spam the response is "well you signed up". That doesn't change the fact that you're spamming. The auto generated response contains the instruction to reply. When one does (and the process fails) the result is a parse error at the server resulting in a auto generated help response. My mailer flags the email address on the help page as invalid. I will not defend my mailer, but simply point out it is vastly deployed. It is too much to hope for, I know, that after so many months of complaints anyone will take the issue seriously. However it is an issue and further more it seems to be unique to this list. I monitor several other lists with similar infrastructure and there is never a complaint. If someone is willing to do more than shrug I have the following suggestions, in order of likelihood of success. 1 lose the two part process notification is enough it's free to sign up. 2. revamp the confirm message and inductions. 3. provide a backup html solution.

Re: Unsubsribe -is- broken
Unsubscribing *does* work. As a moderator I have been helping several of those subscribers who complained and it always turned out that they did something wrong. The most common error is trying to unsubscribe with a different email address than that one which is on the list. Furthermore, the moderators are using exactly the same method. Nonetheless, I have just tested the whole cycle with subscribing and unsubscribing an email address and it worked like a charm. Confirming unsubscribing *is* absolutely necessary. It's easy to spoof email addresses, even Google Mail has this feature. This is like a postcard. I may send a postcard with your name on it as a prank and email works in the same way.
