While you are basically correct, it seemed as if the OP had gone along this path but
somehow finds himself in a situation where he got a confirmation of un-subscription
but is still getting list emails.

Rather than argue endlessly about how to do it, who is right....and on and on.  Going
to the list owners is reasonable.

Like I said, my parents....who are neither lazy nor dumb....have found themselves in
situations they could not understand and get around.  So, they make a phone call and
get "customer support".

So...  Since the OP seems satisfied with taking that route...maybe it would be a good
idea to just let this drop?  And, since the OP wants to be un-subscribed, we need not
reply to him.  Pretend he doesn't exist?
