People keep replying that "they" have unsubbed from certain Lists
because of the way they were managed. I still say you are "the few".
I never said that NO ONE ever left a List because of the rules, I said
only "a few" do so. So let's not make a few personal experiences the
norm. OK?

Yes, I will admit that I, too, have unsubbed from a List because of
the Manager's overly restrictive rules; but, of all the scores and
scores
of Lists to which I subscribe, unsubbing from ONE List puts me in
the "few" category.
