As for this particular case, just replying got me a sample...

It looks like someone has set up a FriendFeed group (whatever that
is), and FriendFeed is stupid enough[*] to reply to each an every
poster directly.  Whoever set this thing up, please contact me asap.

to your web site, which means that you have more chances of getting
people to subscribe.  But the real stupidity is people not realizing
that pissing people off is not a great way to have them subscribe.
For some reason, decades of success stories from sites that are strict
about not annoying you (eg, google with no flash ads) are ignored over
and over again.
