This sentiment has been expressed a few times, and it deserves a counterpoint.

As you may or may not be aware, the contents of this list are archived
on ubuntu-hosted servers.  While I do agree that people can
unsubscribe if they *merely* find the list a waste of their own
personal time, there may be some merit to the argument that some of
the discussions reflect poorly on the community as a whole.

So rather than a "you know where the door is," type response I want to
focus on what the strength and value of the list is.

Thanks again everybody!
