The problem with this is that everyone would be *surprised* at
how many botched unsub requests are intercepted and have to be
processed manually. I have no confidence that making this a 
requirement (ie, unsubbing from two of the 3 in case only photo-3d
were wanted, for example) would be feasible.

On the other hand, I have a student working on a senior design
project right now to create a web based sub/unsub/change
page where people can just go to do those sort of operations.
Those seem more successful than trying to get everyone to type
the right command for the listserv - you just have to hit the
appropriate "radio button" and hit "submit".
