To be a bit constructive, could it be an idea to add unsubscribe
information as one of the standard tailer tips?  Then unsubscribe info
wouldn't appear in every mail, but often enough for people considering
to unsubscribe.  To be totally non-constructive, let me add a bit to the
noise below:

If he can't find out how to unsubscribe from the list, how can he be
expected to figure out the owner address?

I always check the headers when I want to unsubscribe from any mailing
list, and I think most people on this list have above average knowledge
of such technical details.  Of course, on a list with this many
recepients there will always be some exceptions ...
