While there is an informative email when you sign up, there are a couple issues
with it. First, as you said, people don't read instructions. Second, people
forget. I would have to search back to when I signed up for the list in order
to find how to unsubscribe. Lastly, gmail and many other apps provide a button
that says "unsubscribe" which does little more than send an email to the list.
The latter is the reason I am suggesting that this be worked in as an
additional way to unsubscribe from the list.

I see the confusion on quite a few lists around the organization. It's not
rampant, but it does happen. Perhaps it would be a good idea to improve the
communication somehow. When you first subscribe, you get a pretty informative
email describing all of the things you can do via email, but who reads
instructions?!?! :). I wonder if infra could force a footer on the emails or
something.

I think the overall issue here is that there are many apps that
provide an "unsubscribe" button that automagically sends these emails.
I think the best course of action would be to bring this up to the powers that
be to possibly decide on supporting this functionality as a feature. This, of
course, because this method of unsubscribing from lists is pretty much standard
now.
Im not sure the patronizing responses with Google links help at all.

Was the Google stuff really necessary? Couldn't you have just nicely told them
how to unsubscribe?

Hi,
You did not unsubscribe yet.
'unsubscribe cassandra' in google search:
Result 1: http://www.planetcassandra.org/apache-cassandra-mailing-lists/Result
2: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/cassandra-user/Result 3:
http://cassandra.apache.org/
Sending a message to user-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org, as mentioned
everywhere, should work better and spam less people.
