No, sadly it really wouldn't.  If seeing the unsubscribe message on the bottom 
of 100+ messages per day doesn't help, seeing it once a month won't matter at 
all!   It is odd that people ask others to unsubscribe them because if it 
were set up that way people would just unsubscribe other people all the time.  
It would be kaos!  You could subscribe someone else to a maillist alot easier 
than you could unsubscribe a person.  Personally, I always have wondered how 
a person who could not unsubscribe himself from a mail list ever managed to 
get himself subscribed in the first place!
