Indeed, unsubscribed E-mail address wait for human approval before they
go to all of us, the mailinglist subscribers.

I do my best to keep the moderation delay short. That means that an even
only slightly syslinux (or tftp-hpa) related message gets granted to get
through. My critiria for "only slightly related to this ML" is simple:
"that is surely not spam".

When I feel the need for it and my personal time has room for it, I take
the effort to inform the poster what is going on  ( discussion slows down,
manual intervention needed, that is it a spam defence )

The moderation of unsubscribers is mostly discarding spam. My reason
for doing this donkey task, is taking some of the workload from hpa,
so to the benefit of the project.

Yes.

And it is much appreciated.  Geert has definitely done a better job than
I have on this, and is the reason this list is largely spam-free.
