It does happen, yes. IME, though, it is rare.

Indeed. I never meant to disparage yourself or others with similar
intentions. However, with no further activity, thus far, from OP the
likelihood of seeing one is diminishing. Of course, that may mean
they're successfully unsubbed already.

I wish I did. And I would have done so. It may have happened already
anyway. Although under such circumstances, I'd have liked to have seen
a notification to that effect. It would put an end to the topic. Which,
to my shame, I'm not helping to do.

A method I approve of, and use myself in most circumstances. That said,
I've seen the same imperfect unsub practice by various ppl in multiple
places. Some people, it seems, are unwilling to learn. :-(
