I tend to find those distracting.  Besides, they're redundant: this mailing
list (like most) sends unsub instructions when you subscribe; it's mildly
implausible that large numbers of people just delete them out of hand.  What
may be happening is that people are subscribed to remailers and don't
realize it (say, if their admin added them to the local list by hand); in
such a case, giving them instructions on each message won't help.
