[EMAIL PROTECTED], emerged from a plethora of SPAM ...

Well, I can completely understand your frustration. I have been trying
to unsubscribe from a list I joined several years ago. Every few months,
for about three years, I decide to tackle it again. I still get daily
email from that list.

And yet another list I joined to get weather forecasts will re-subscribe
me for months at a time. I get the weather on my PDA daily now, so the
subscription hasn't been needed for a couple of years now. This makes me
wonder whether they keep referring to a backup database.

Worst of all, the company I work for has major problems with email
subscriptions that causes me to get email from them on three different
email addresses. I joined the club, found that they send out far more
email than I have time for with no way to set weekly/monthly
preferences. I didn't want to quit the club, so I decided to switch my
subscription email address to an address that I don't have to worry
about getting clogged up. But apparently, once they have your email
address, they never let it go. I found out that email problems were very
low on the priority list - there pretty much just isn't room on the list
because they don't want to yield our developers time to something that
fixing doesn't affect revenue. Mac software support is not on the list
at all. If I had the authority/access to our developers' to-do-list, I'd
add Mac support to the list myself but place it after the annoyance of
getting too much email to three different addresses. (All employees
automatically get subscribed to the list I've been trying to get off of
for almost a year.)

So, from my point of view, one mailing list subscription too many means
more time spent dealing with unwanted messages from a source whose
protocol was followed without success because of a glitch somewhere that
isn't a priority to fix. I completely understand the frustration voiced
by Sead Lejlic and wish Sead luck.
