If I wanted a scientific study I would have donned my lab coat. I was, however, simply confirming my own suspicion that unsubscribing is a bad idea. It wasn't my point to track down an unscrupulous spammer, simply to determine if unsubscribing in general really does land you on spam lists. cheers, Colin Colin A.
