	Maybe you are all missing the point.

	Maybe you should consider why people are unsubscribing? :)

	This is a good idea in general. We'd need to decide whether we can
stomach
	the transmission delays, (not so important, since it would be a rare

failed
	unsubscription is an unfortunately common occurrence)
