I imagine that some people might think along the lines of: "Annoy them enough, and someone will do something about it".

And they could be right too, as no doubt some subscribers might figure that sending an auto-reply to any unsubscribe
messageto the list to the person in question - perhaps with an explanation of how to unsubscribe properly - would make
thatperson use the correct method for unsubscribing rather sooner than later. 

Please, as tempting as that sounds, be gentle to the list server and do not do that.
