that does not matter, the way to go is with the link in the
footer or reading mail-headers which are in each mail of
any mailing-list

not reading mail-footers and naively post to the whole list "unsubscribe me"
is a combination of lazy/dumb - what do such people expect? that anybody
can unsubscribe everyone just for fun - this is not realistic
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?
