Firstly, the unsubscribe will never work because u...@domain.com is not 
subscribed to parentList, and secondly, unless messages are sent to 
siblingList1 and siblingList2 (which is infrequent), the user will
never 
be given the opportunity to unsubscribe.


If posts to the individual sub-lists are infrequent, you could just
have a single list and let those members of only one list receive the
infrequent, off-topic posts.

Not with regular_include_lists used in this way.

You could set up your parent list as an umbrella list with the other
lists as members, but then you have the problem of duplicate messages
to people who are members of both sub-lists which is presumably what
you are trying to avoid by using sibling lists.

You could consider one of the other duplicate avoidance methods from
the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/TIA9> (I just added a note to that
FAQ about this issue).
