If you post to the list without trimming the mailing list footer, the
account management link that is specifically tailored to your account
will get posted as well.
Someone might errantly click that link thinking it will take them to
_their own_ unsubscribe page. Alternatively, a naive web crawler might
reach your account management page and from there send an unsubscribe
request.
I doubt someone at Apple is trying to boot you off the list. :)
