Change the footer of all emails to state: 

Unsubscribe requests that are sent to the list will start the process for hunting down the user and flogging them into submission of guilt, branding of the motto 'RTFM' by use of a cattle prod on their forehead, and finally, the hanging of the end user in a public location as an example for everyone else who might lose the ability to think for themselves.

What do you think? Good idea? No? BUT YOU WERE THINKING IT!!!
