unsubscribing from other places

Someday it's a full time chore deleting unwanted email from my box.  Sure long ago I did sign up with an interest for X product or political  but that's faded.  Seems like some companies want to give you the run around.  You have to log into your account....wait you have to retrieve your password, then log into the account, then ask nicely and then they send you an email back asking if you are really sure you want to.

update your e-mail addy to a dummy one

I've thought about that.  I've also thought about marking them as spam so I don't see them.  Many thing I look back over through the years and want a second look at.  

 

As an example I belong to a band in a box user group. An old old style forum hosted by yahoo.  The members are very old as well.  Many I think of as friends.  They helped me in understanding the capabilities of the program and I went on to help new users..  We also share our biab compositions.

every once in a while I get notification of a new song being posted to the file area and I just have to look.  As far as the forum it is so specific that we can only cover biab related material.  The helpers outnumber the helped 4 to 1  as well PG music has their own forum now (had it for years)  Part of me can't let it go.

 

This is the predicament I see with many of the mailers.

 

With regards to setting up a new email account.  I've had the same email address since '96.  I'll often get emails from long lost friends and relatives out of the blue.  They may not think to access me via facebook but they store the email address and send me a line "Remembering When"
