It should also be pointed out that the old system did WAY too much of
that, often causing messages to get dumped into the moderation queue
because they happened to contain words that looked like majordomo
commands. I do not think that an aggressive filter for "unsubscribe"
is a good idea --- note, for example, that none of this thread would
be seeing the light of day in any timely fashion if the new code
did that.
Hopefully things have more or less settled out now and we can get on
with normal discussions? Please?
