There have been such.  The problem is that in many cases such bots
would have unsubscribed both you, and then me.  And they don't save
effort for more than about 2/3 of the turkeys.  Not worth it for the
ML manager.

Because they're self-centered people who think that others should do
everything for them, and/or they've got more nerve than brain.

People who ask nicely are likely to get kidded about the fact that the
instructions are in lots of easy-to-find places, especially on a Linux
list.

But they usually get told (politely) how to get off.  The former type
deserve no more than being told where to get off.
