Removing "inactive" subs has proven to be a dud for me in many ways as well.

The first time I tried it silently and got a lot of people very annoyed they were removed. The second time I actively emailed people and they were similarly offended. I now don't bother (though if open rates were low, I'd probably just do it again).
