Yes, I accidentally went to the bottom of your email, searched for the tiny unsubscribe link, and carefully moved my cursor into the exact position needed to click it.
@ghalldev OMG. RIGHT!?!?!? I effing _HATE_ that.

@ghalldev Yes, this is the same kind of "mistake" that landed my company mail adress in a googol databases because it was at one point publicly available.

@ghalldev I hate it more when you click the link which includes a load of Base64 encoded tracking data so they know exactly whose link was just clicked, then ask you to enter your email address.

@ghalldev "it will take up to 28 days to remove your details"
why? are you having to shrink people down to scrub the bits off the hard drives by hand? or are you actually not unsubscribing me this time and waiting for my 2nd unsubscribe attempt the next time you e-mail me within the next 28 days?

@avatastic Hey it’s a tough job, don’t knock on the tiny hard drive people.

@ghalldev I hate that you can't tell if the email is real or phishing. So you have to start a whole new virtual machine, install enough Debian to have a web browser, then paste in the link.
Had someone sending me parallel emails to those sent by Foreign Relations journal. 50% odds the recipient will 'unsubscribe' using the wrong link. Interesting targeting of users too.
I want to slap anyone who is sending bulk emails without a cryptographic signature.
