And as long as a 'Goodbye' message was mailed to the former subscriber, 
they would at least know they were unsubscribed... and if this happens 
and the former subscriber resubscribes, some kind of time based security 
measure could be used to prevent anyone from being one-click 
unsubscribed more than x times per [week][month][quarter][year][whatever]...
