An interesting issue. How would the moderators (or anyone else for 
that matter) know that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is genuine, and that 
the request to unsub [EMAIL PROTECTED] isn't a service denial 
attempt on someone else?

I can't help wondering whether this is a troll anyway - he has been 
advised already of a way to unsubscribe even without access to the 
gmail account; if he'd tried that and it didn't work, I'd have 
thought (hoped, anyway) he'd be saying as much.
