Let me throw in my very humble two cents.

I wouldn't. It is just an additional set of reminders which anybody who knows how to work can happily ignore. > how do you even think that would help?

But I think there are some who are just new or unfamiliar with the style of mailing lists. If only some of those read the footer and act accordingly, there would be less of those reminder messages. > so in the real world the bunch of idiots with no brain and no capabilities > for operate a mail client don't give a shit whatever spam you place at the > bottom of each mail I think it is not about that bunch of idiots but about the ignorant ones (as in: "sorry, didn't know that"). > you only insult the others explaining them daily how to walk Do you really think that? I, for one, do not even notice the footer anymore, since I know its content. Maybe other subscribers do the same.
