When I worked as a web developer for a local news paper, we had a
mailing list that would send out the results of classified ad searches
to those who subscribed to a search. Well several morons on hotmail
were too stupid to unsubscribe them self so they reported us as spamers
and then all the hotmail address in the DB bounced every day. I told my
boss and he didn't seem to care, so I didn't bother trying to do
anything about it. I really don't know who the bigger idiots were, the
people who couldn't unsubscribe them self or the morons on hotmail that
didn't even take the time to read the supposed spam messages to see the
clearly spelled out and valid method for unsubscribing.


Well, I hear you, but....

In my experience, the "unsubscribe" button in many emails only validates
your email address -- and triggers even MORE email!

I think that's why people are so hesitant to use it.
