I also subscribe to the PowerBuilder PB-L list, and EVERY message that goes
through that server has a 2 line "signature" appended that is used to
specify the "no job postings" rule of that list.  This listserver could do
the same, but use one line to reference the FAQ, and the 2nd to instruct
readers how to unsubscribe.

Thanks Win, I wonder how many of those 'please unsubscribe' messages
and their occasional expletives AND all those that complain back to the
list in complaint and retaliation would taper off if the listserver could
add a nice short to the point unsubscribe URL and/or FAQ ?

I'd bet it might be as much as 50% !
