David, I already did that earlier today, and wrote that I did it. So he got two.... It's  not clear that he's reading his mails.

He just wants someone else to do it for him, so he'll scream until what he wants to stop stops. Probably worked when he was a baby.

I said I would send him a password reminder, but I'm not going to do that, because the only thing he's responding to that we can read is list mail. He's responding that way to every list mail. Not sure what will happen if he responds to the unsubscription mail with STOP in the body. I think if he leaves the subject header alone, it would still unsubscribe him.

Yeah, amygdala hijack, see the Wikipedia article, it's the midbrain, essentially. We all do it when triggered in certain ways, but usually we notice it. When a hijack is active, "intelligent" response is largely impossible. Whatever intelligence can still function, is totally subservient to the hijack, which is designed to be automatic. We don't stop to think if a pattern in what we see in a jungle matches what we have programmed as tiger stripes. If we did stop to think, we might be dead, quickly.

I don't understand why he's getting so many distinct mails, because he apparently is. As a digest subscriber, wouldn't he normally only get one mail per day?
