remove

[Michael Biber]

Some other lists deal with this by auto issuing a monthly reminder of
the key instructions. It either prompts people to leave or at the least,
you only have to remember for 4 weeks, where the instructions are
hiding. Sometimes, failure to comply isn't so much cluelesness, but not
having great English skills...FWIW.

   The gripping hand is, those subscribers who are unable to remember
how to unsubscribe, and are unable to locate the instructions they
recieved when they first subscribed, will probably also be unable to
read the footer you suggest.  
   But, it's certainly worth a try.  For me, at least.  I've got a T1
and I don't mind the wasted bandwidth.  Those paying per byte or per
second for a dialup may object.
