definitely. No black holes. You not only need to confirm the unsubscribe 
so the user knows the action they took succeeded, but this avoids the 
cirucmstance where they were removed, and didn't notice until the 
silence of no messages clicks in.

this all assumes that the end-user pays attention and reads things. 
That's not always true, but we can only go so far. As I point out to 
users who yell at me about stuff I sent them e-mail on, I can't force 
them to read it, but I can tell them to not yell at me if they didn't...

Yes, yes, I've finally finished my home page. Lucky you.

It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the 
end.
