many of my lists are non technical. it's simple. someone complains 
about being unsubscribed, I send them a copy of the bounce and tell 
them to stop doing it.

I do the same when I get spam complaints from AOL for messages posted 
to lists. they get unsubscribed, they complain, I point out what they 
did. If they do it twice, they get unsubscribed permanently.

AOL will change, if it has to to survive. I plan on surviving no matter 
what. AOL long ago convinced me to stop bending over backwards to make 
up for its screwups, though. I spend enough time as list admin trying 
to teach AOL users how to use the tools AOL gives them properly as it 
is, something I really appreciate.
