Well, it is not all that strange, considering that it's far less of a
hassle to recieve no mail from a list than it is to recieve a truckload of
mail from a number of lists you haven't subscribed to yourself.

While it may or may not be necessary to use some sort of authorization
when unsubscribing, it is very important when it comes to subscribing.
