The list manager has responded and he let you know that the address that
you are trying to use to unsubscribe is not subscribed. Until you come up
with a subscribed address you can't be unsubscribed. He said this yesterday
after he came back into the country from teaching classes. As for your next
message, this is not spam because you (or someone at an equivalent address)
signed up for it. Spam is email that you didn't ask to receive and you
asked to receive this. There have been some problems with the unsubscribe
functions, but I have used them twice in the last month and they do work,
assuming that you have used them correctly. But instead of trying to
contact the list manager through the information on the website that
contains the unsubscribe function, you sent a threatening letter to people
who have no control over your subscription to the list. That is extremely
unprofessional, and considering the nature of this list, extremely
dangerous. There are people on this list who could easily take down your
website or hijack you email. Yes, that is illegal, but you may have already
noticed that not many people have been arrested for this recently in spite
of several high-profile cases pending. That's because it's easy for people
to cover their tracks if they know what they are doing. I suggest that the
next time you have a problem like this you handle it more appropriately.
