Hi,
If you are doing it as a matter of principle then fine ... but you won't get
anywhere. I have received reminders from netmind to unsubscribe but I don't
remember me receiving adverts. I think it is one of the better
companies. Even so, if you subscribe to a free service ... ehmmm, nothing in
life is really free.
Get used to junk mail ... it is here to stay. The places where it comes from
DP shall never touch :-)
