It's odd... I think it's been 7 or 8 years since I used a mailing list where subscribe/unsubscribe commands were supposed to be sent to the list address, but among the dozen or so lists I'm on, it seems like it's still a weekly occurrence that someone tries to use this method.

The posters seem pretty clueful. Are there a lot of n00b lurkers?

Even that doesn't track. Assuming (and I realize this is a big assumption) the distribution of list management software is typical on the various lists I see, I would expect most "newbies" would not have encountered the "send a message to the list with 'unsubscribe' in the subject" type of interface.

Oh, wait.  I see directions like that in spam.

Never mind.  *grumble*
