Doesn't that invalidate your apology? Aren't you just saying "I'd do it
again in a heartbeat?" Do you have the right to excersize that power over
Scott's email account, regardless of whether or not he wants it? Maybe if
you asked him beforehand, sure. But who are you to excersize this power? If
I think that you don't want to be subscribed, should I sign you off? What if
my method for figuring out whether you *want* to or not is faulty? What if
it's completely off base? What if I think by posting them to a public forum
that you don't deserve it and thereby take you off? What if I'm just bored
and figure taking you off the list would be entertaining? Until you've been
*asked*, I don't think you should.

What's this? Relative morality? Judgement by intent? Your intentions were
