Thank you for including this, Gerrit.

Would you mind including the additional text:

in future announcements?

It seems like the VAST majority of people who have problems
unsubscribing need to be pointed at a web page and, as strange as it
sounds, need to be told to keep reading through all of the unsubscribe
items.

I don't know if this text in cygwin-announce has ever actually helped
anyone but when I tell problem unsubscribers who claim they've "tried
everything" that they need to keep reading the web page, I only very
rarely ever hear from them again.
