Frequency of question can be irritating. Absense of information is
relevant. (it's not the same person asking the same question over and over
..)

As explicitily said above : ('you' ment as 'the piclist-group').

Think about this : You are a newling somewhere and you ask some of the
other people (who are already the for some time) where you can take a
leak.You don't get any answer.  Would you think that is rude ?   Would you
think it is rude to get an answer like 'the guys before you asked the same
question, I don't like to tell you (again)' ?

Maybe a un/subscription should be done by way of the subject-line ?  Or
maybe a un/subscription message could be send to anyone who sends a message
with less than a few (maybe 2) lines ?
