I participate in only a handful of mailing lists, and they all have to do with something I'm excited about (radio). As I understand it, mailing lists are something you sign up for because you want to read what people have to say about the subject of the list.
So I have absolutely no patience for seeing the following message posted to a mailing list:
"Stop posting messages to this mailing list! I get enough e-mail as it is."
If the fraction-of-a-second it takes you to unsubscribe from a list is too much time out of your day as it is (despite having enough time to compose and send a complaint about not having enough time to read all the messages), then perhaps you should re-think using a computer in the first place. Clearly, you are missing the point.
Of just about everything.
