I signed up to watch the Bob Pease show, only to find my ancient PC
isn't beefy enough to play the video!  Now, I can't seem to unsubscribe
from the e-mail newsletter.  The "change your e-mail notifications"
page doesn't load properly on IE, and they seem to just ignore my
e-mails.  Does anyone else have this problem, or know how to
unsubscribe from this spam?


Ziff-Davis also seems to be impossible to unsubscribe from.

I now read my email by logging on to my ISP's site and going to Mail. There, I can report incoming mail as SPAM and have sources blocked.

One that really annoyed me was Penn State Univ.  I have no idea how they
got my info. but was getting all kinds of stuff from them, which seemed
to be directed at alumni.  Same thing; could not unsubscribe and had to
report them as a spam source.



 What's the matter with you people.  Yes, some web-sites become so
 complicated they lose track of how to direct you to the correct OFF
 location.  But it's really not an issue, because all their email can
 be eliminated by means of an easily-set filter.  So I say, learn about
 your email's filters, and set them, and stop suffering and complaining.

I get some 200 pieces of junk every day at my old address, and I still have to look it over even after the filter calssifies it in case of false positives.
That's why I'm moving to google.
Their anti-junk scheme is very workable - it relies on multiple people reporting the same spam.
