Replying to an e-mail is not subscribing to a service. It is the
author's right to know if one replies publicly to his e-mails.
Explicitly removing him from the C/C of such replies is a violation
of his rights. 

On other words, it is implicit that, if you post an e-mail, you'll be
expecting actions or answers to it.

Now, if one really doesn't really want to receive e-mails from a
particular sender, a block list solves it. Alternatively, a way to
opt-out is welcomed.

See, this is different than adding someone to a mailing list without
his consent: On such case, people receive e-mails unrelated to their 
preferences. For those, opt-in is the right net etiquette.

Thanks,
