Top posting might also be appropriate when you know that the intended  
recipient is going to read it on a cell phone. Either that, or edit

Both of the requesters were on Hotmail, now that you mention it.

Actually, the different names, and the similarity of the requests,  
led me to wonder if some piece of malware was generating spurious  
"unsubscribe" requests -- but if that were the case, I would have  
expected bunches of them by now.
