I've not gotten the AOL'ed treatment, but man how clueless
is the userbase now-a-daze? I run a few lists, and despite
the unsub address appearing in both the headers and visible
dot.sig; still get dozens of "how do I.." per week.

I miss the Good Old Daze; when men were men, and addresses
had bang paths...
