Well, maybe some of it is that we are more then happy to make it dead
simple (one click on a web page) to get them subscribed... they don't
really have to read or understand much of anything. But if you want to
leave..different story - then we say- on your own buddy, or What you
can't read or Man are you stupid.

Maybe make that link in the footer of each email a real unsubscribe URl,
as we do to help get them subscribed, and not just a link to a help
page. 

Anyway, just a thought.
