Personally, I agree that the original message should not have been sent to the list - so I replied to the author in a PERSONAL message.

Dear diary,
I have often wondered why people who can't read subscribe to mailing lists.
I have never heard of any list, where you unsubscribed by sending to
------------------------------------------------------------------------ the
list itself. Additionally, I have never heard of any list, where new subscribers did not get an e-mail with instructions on how to unsubscribe. And especially on this list, where every mail includes unsubscribe info, the only explanation for the many "unsubscribe", "remove" and the like _must_ be that the people sending them simply _can_not_read_!
My question then is: If they can't read in the first place, WHY do they subscribe?
Yours
Ole
