   A lot of that depends on how long the average person stays on the list.
On another list that I belong to, most people stay there for months or
more.  Whenever someone asks "how do I unsubscribe", even though the
instructions are at the bottom of the message, they generally get subjected
to quite a bit of public humiliation and mockery.  The good side is that
other people on the list notice it, and realize "Hey, I ought to pay
attention to things like that, otherwise I'll look like a fool."    The
rate dropped from a few a week to once every few months.

   However, in lists where the average person doesn't stay there very long,
they don't ever get to learn from others' mistakes...
