I have a confession to make: I once managed to send an unsubscribe to debian-security. Background: I had just gotten into a situation where I had to run out of the door, and was to be offline, or have very little bandwidth available to me for some time, and I had thus five minutes to unsubscribe from a bunch of lists. Most of them went fine, but with debian-security, I managed to send the unsubscribe request directly to the list. I apologized a second later. It can happen to most people when you're stressed. Most non-braindead list systems have realized that you need to protect your list-members from both negligence and mishaps, by intercepting messages that looks like unsubscribe requests. You need to do that because it is a fact of life that if you don't, there is a lot of noise caused by the unsubscribe-requests themselves, but also by people posting content-less FAQs.
