Re: unsubscribe

Maybe the list owner could make it that every message that goes through this
mailing list would have short unsubscribe instructions at the bottom. Maybe it
would spoil the view as ads in Yahoogroups do but it would prevent people from
sending these unsubscribe emails to the list. It's recommended to put down
unsubscribe instructions before joining a list but many forget to do this so the
bottom instructions would be useful. And you could add a link to a Gould FAQ
there as well if there is one.

Or Anne could have a template instructional email prepared all the time :)
