Hmm. One data point does not a trend make.
I remember back around December I wanted to unsubscribe to keep from
spamming the list with bounce messages during our Winter shutdown. I
sent the message, got a confirmation and sent it in. No luck. Tried at
least 4 times all with the same result. When I told this list about my
problem several folks came back with "Worked for me". It turns out
some parameter had been adjusted at the beginning of the week that was
causing unsubscribe confirmations to be ignored. Those who had
informed me of their trouble-free experiences were basing it on
something they'd done a week or more prior to my attempts. Perhaps
something similar is going on now. Perhaps it was fixed before you
unsubscribed?
