This whole thing is about common sense.    All one has to do is read and
follow what it says.    Its a pretty simple concept, really it is..

Did you just imply that we're not normal? Them's fightin' words. :)

Honestly, the link says "manage your mailing list subscription," which 
is about as clear and unambiguous as you can get without detailing every 
little thing you can possibly do. And we don't really want a signature 
that says "Visit (url here) to subscribe, unsubscribe, select whether 
you want to receive mails in real-time or in a daily digest, change your 
list password, or change your email address by rapidly unsubscribing one 
address followed by subscribing another one."

I'm sure I left out a few features but, well, you get the idea.

(oh yeah, I also think ARIN WHOIS supporting CIDR lookups would be swell)
