I'd like to echo Rich's sentiments here by asking Dennis why the hell am I on his mailing list? Don't recall ever signing up for it because for one, I wouldn't, and secondly because I can find zero evidence of any sign up in my mail archives.
I shouldn't have to unsubscribe from something I didn't sign up for in the first place. Bloody ugly emails they are too.
