Duh!  Maybe he's tired of dimwits who can't follow the most basic 
instructions ( and even when they send an email containing these 
instructions they can't seem to work out how to actually use them)
If it was anywhere near April 1st I could have let this one slide but 
seriously, you must be joking! Why don't you get of your arse, read 
the exact same message you sent to the list and do it yourself!

Somebody UNSUDSCRIDE this person so we can increase our average IQ a 
few points!
