(email) UNSUBSCRIBE

with one comment

I don’t mean to brag but I have ALOT of domain names. A. LOT. many of them at some point in my life have been used as email redirects – this is why when I illegally get put on someone douchebag mailing list about their rapey looking burlesque club – and the only way to get off their list it to reply with ‘unsubscribe’ in the title I want to go on a killing spree. But even WORSE is when they put you on their gaybag BCC list so I can’t even see which one of my 8 email addresses they have sent their pointless filth to.

You see, when I hit ‘reply’ the email address your going to see is a lot different to the one I used when I signed your mailing list at the height of some drug fueled ecstasy. So this system does. not. work. Please please can everyone start using managed mailing list software – OPT IN managed email software. Also if someone emails you, this does not mean they want to be on your dreary mailing list unless they say they want to be on your mailing list, unless that is the reason they are emailing you.
