A lot of times spammers will indeed unsubscribe you
from their list, only to then sell your name to other
spammers. :-/
Broad sentiment is to never "unsubscribe" something
you never subscribed to, as it only serves to confirm
your e-address is a valid one. (confirmed e-addresses
are worth more than blind ones)
