Sorry I did not intend to "take it out on the sender" but used that email as an example of one of many recently. I can see where it may have come across that way & I appologize to the sendrer.
I worked for one of the largest tech firms and every so often there would be a literal storm of "unsubscribe me" emails that would start up on a particular mail list. It would be compounded because they would also copy the entire list each time and generate thousands of unnecessary emails to everyone. At one time, I am sure I probably did the same mistake and was told in blunt terms that I should learn how its done properly. Its just that in the last 2 weeks there must have been a dozen emails just like this and like most people I already have enough email. Thanks for pointing it out tho'.
