Why do we get multiple unsubscribe messages here?

Because people don’t know how to follow directions:

[http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/community/mailing-lists/](http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/community/mailing-lists/)  
[http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/community/mailing-lists/manual-instructions/](http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/community/mailing-lists/manual-instructions/)

Specifically, this part, right here:

“To unsubscribe from a list, send a mail which body is “unsubscribe” to  
the  
controller address.”

CONTROLLER ADDRESS.

Not to removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid.  
To removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid.

Then again, most people only seem to send the “unsubscribe” once –  
after  
that, presumably, they figured out how to properly unsubscribe, or they  
just  
marked it all as spam.
