I do believe they send you a confirmation email, could you have possibly deleted it?

if you have cable and your using a new ISP now, Besides the wasting of bandwidth on the lists part does it really matter if they keep sending email to your old isp email?
Yes, it does matter, as I'm trying to setup a home network, and am having trouble with sorting out the cable ISP connections- and it's going to take awhile to complete the house wiring. I need my old dialup ISP and email as a backup, until I get the new setup successfully configured.
That's why I tried to unsubscribe to the list on the old ISP, twice- unsuccessfully. I'm simply asking how that can be accomplished, other than how the gentoo list page says to do it- it doesn't work for me- they keep sending list emails to my old and unsubscribed address, filling up the inbox.
In any case, surely you're not trying to tell me I shouldn't have more than one ISP and email accounts on both at the same time? If there's any wasting of bandwidth on the lists part, it's their fault, not mine- I've tried to unsubscribe, using their instructions (now multiple times).

When I upgraded to cable, I tried to unsubscribe from my old account, which I did twice exactly like the list home page instructed. I"m keeping the old ISP a few weeks longer, but I visited it's webmail site, and I had literally gotten almost 3000 emails from this list in 2-3 weeks. I had to laborously delete them 50 at a time- took over an hour.
Apparently, the method of sending the list an unsubscribe email doesn't work all the time.
Any advice as to how to remedy this? The old address is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If anyone who actually is in control of this list see's this, please unsubscribe me at the above ISP, ASAP. I resubscribed with a new email and new ISP.
Thanks, Robert Crawford
