Are you suggesting I unsubscribe?  :)

You're right, I didn't count the clicks to navigate around in the mail 
client, I counted only the two mailto links that one would click when 
they get the message back from discuss+help with the instructions.  I 
don't consider this onerous.  This unsubscribe/confirm procedure is 
basically the same procedure someone used when they subscribed, and the 
same procedure countless other mailing lists use, so I don't know why 
anyone would find it mysterious.  I find it simpler than, for example, 
HTMLized buttons in an email (which the user would wonder what they 
actually do) or going to a website.  Reasonable people differ on this, 
no doubt.
