[SLUG] This busy list

This is an example of some of the emails I get:

========================================

Problem or Comment:

I have tried to uns*bscr*be, unsuccessfully, from an email discussion
group. This list is extremely high traffic and I cannot keep up with
these emails so I just end up deleting about 50 or so daily. Could you
please remove me from the discussion list to which I am s*bscr*bed Thank
you very much for your help.

=========================================

When has this list _ever_ produced fifty emails in a day?

And did he mention which lists he's on somewhere and I just didn't
notice it?

And yep, the uns*bscr*bing instructions on the Lists page only work when
Derek _doesn't_ have the Twinkie cannon hooked up to the list server's
UPS. Or when the sunspot activity is low. Or during high tide. Or when I
use Peter Pan instead of Jif.

Let's see. Should I send this guy detailed instructions for removing
himself, or just uns*bscr*be him? Hmm....
