Your attitude is appalling. You subscribe a lot of very busy people to 
a list without their permission and without knowing whether they have 
any interest in said list, then force them to take a few minutes to 
unsubscribe. Multiply by dozens or hundreds of people and you've wasted
some significant man-hours. A simple invitation would have sufficed.

Perhaps you might spend some quality time with RFC 1855?
