It could be worse - I just subscribed to the mailing list for Big
Brother, an extremely slick network/server monitoring package
(http://www.bb4.com/) - in the first 72 hours I was on it, I must have
seen 20 unsub requests on the list.

I think people must think they're subscribing to a list about that new
TV show, Big Brother, and can't figure out why all of these people are
discussing shell scripting and such. Here's the kicker though...

_Every_ message that comes from that list has the unsubscribe
instructions printed at the bottom.

Some people shouldn't be allowed to turn their computers on :)
