In support of Gavin's repeated advice, it's worth noticing that the problem is
obviously that folks don't read.  In specific, someone who is wanting to get
off the list by definition does not want to read the messages on the list.  So
attempting to communicate with such a person through the list messages seems
unlikely to be successful.

On the other hand (and the reason I didn't jump on Gavin's bandwagon before),
the message talks also about looking up archives and changing options--things
which the list subscribers may wish to do ('course I still don't expect that
they'll read it--we tend to ignore something which is just always there).
