I have little sympathy for anyone not being able to unsubscribe if they
aren't willing to actually read the first 12 words (!) of the message
coming back from discuss+help. It's not rocket science. You send an
unsubscribe request, and then you confirm it. And the links are
pre-made to do it, so it's really just two mouse clicks. This set up is
the same as for thousands of other mailing lists, and I honestly don't
know how it could get any simpler.
Two clicks!?!? You obviously haven't tested that theory...
Are you suggesting I unsubscribe? :)
You're right, I didn't count the clicks to navigate around in the mail
client, I counted only the two mailto links that one would click when
they get the message back from discuss+help with the instructions. I
don't consider this onerous. This unsubscribe/confirm procedure is
basically the same procedure someone used when they subscribed, and the
same procedure countless other mailing lists use, so I don't know why
anyone would find it mysterious. I find it simpler than, for example,
HTMLized buttons in an email (which the user would wonder what they
actually do) or going to a website. Reasonable people differ on this,
no doubt.
