Doug,
Thank you for that explanation and rationale. It truly assisted me in
understanding the process.

Mary, in case it comforts you, I had a few incidents of this over the years
myself. I think the most common scenario works like this:

1. You read a message from the list. The message will end with a footer
taylored for you that includes a list removal link for you specifically.

2. You reply to the message. The mail client you use includes a quoted copy
of what you are answering, and also a copy of the footer you received below
that.

3. Your message goes out to everyone on the list, and each recipient gets a
message footer taylored to that person that includes a list removal link for
that recipient. Your own footer, with its removal link, will remain above
that footer as part of what you sent.

4. Someone decides to leave the list and goes to click an Unsubscribe link
from the footer of a message.

5. Unfortunately for you, the message footer chosen just happens to be the
footer of the message you sent, which includes a link for removing you
specifically from the list. Below that, the person's own link should appear.

To all listers: This is a good reason to snip off the sometimes extensive
collection of footers that can start piling up at the ends of messages in
lengthy discussion threads, on this and many other mailing lists.
