I am bombarded with enough unwanted emails that I have grown quite adept at scrolling to the bottom of the page and finding the link labelled unsubscribe.
I click on it, and it takes me to an Internet screen that asks me what I want to do. Well, since I clicked on unsubscribe I probably want to unsubscribe, don't I? I, therefore, click on "unsubscribe from all emails" or equivalent, and then a screen comes up and asks me why I don't want to receive these emails anymore.
Sometimes I am to fill in with a word or phrase, and sometimes I am given several choices. My favorite one is, "The content is inappropriate." Almost makes it sound like they're sending me porn, doesn't it?
So, I click on whatever answer I like best at the time, whereupon some sort of message pops up -- sometimes telling me they're sorry to see me go, often telling me how to subscribe again if I should ever change my mind, but usually just assuring me that my effort to unsubscribe was a success.
And within ten minutes they send me an email telling me I won't be getting any more emails from them.
Sheesh.
