On the contrary, my experience shows that adding unsubscribe
instructions to the end of each message has little effect on people who
obviously can't read instructions to begin with.  Maybe I'm being too

The weekly DJGPP Mini-FAQ contains unsubscribe instructions, the last
time I looked...  all people have to do is _read_.
