Please see my responses to your bug questions at:

A possible bug is that the owner of the base article cannot unsubscribe. The code is supposed to check the list first before checking the owner of a page. I may have already fixed a bug that might have been there previously - I was modifying the subscription code to clean it up for B5.1. I just checked again, and the code looks fine.

Turn on debugging in buildList in subscribe-lib.pl to see what it is adding to the list, and whether unsubscribing works.

Another thing that may be happening is that if you, as owner of the page, add a response somewhere, then you will be subscribed at that level too, unless you explicitly unsubscribe, so you will get notification of responses to that. Unsubscribing at the base article level will not do it for you.

If you really want to turn off all notification of yourself for a particular article, or for the whole site, you need another option or two that do not yet exist. It would not be hard to do, but other things have had priority.
