I don't understand why it is *our* problem that users cannot unsubscribe
from an external service that we don't control?  Keep in mind that a new
service can pop up tomorrow, and another one the next day.  At what
point do we stop being responsible for these third-party services that
we have no control over?  What if someone set up an actual List<->NNTP
gateway, and then yet another party set up a different NNTP<->SecondList
gateway?  My head hurts just thinking about supporting all those
third-party configurations!
