It's possible he's sent the unsubscribe request properly, but the
confirmation email got buried in his inbox which he doesn't read
because it's too full.  This happened to my brother.

FYI, when you unsubscribe from a list, you have to reply to the
confirmation email that is sent.  It is sent to ensure that it is
really you who wants to unsubscribe (so I can't go around randomly
unsubscribing people from the list).

I cannot overemphasize the importance of good grammar.

What a crock.  I could easily overemphasize the importance of good
grammar.  For example, I could say: "Bad grammar is the leading cause
of slow, painful death in North America," or "Without good grammar, the
United States would have lost World War II."
