i actually had to look up the word 'punitive' in an English-Dutch dicitionary :)
anyway, no I don't use it for punitive unsubscription... but often people post message
like "please unsubscribe me" or "how come I don't receive any more mail from the list?"
(the latter happens when they had a full mailbox and mailman automatically disabled 
their account).... though it's possible to write a message with explanation, in most
cases (especially considering the lack of computer knowledge of most of the
subscribers) this only confuses them more... so I usually want to fix it myself.
