Is there a structural reason why it should take 10 days to take my name off an email mailing list?  I see this with old media companies a lot.  Reminds me of the days when you’d mail in an unsubscribe request and expect 6-8 weeks for it to take effect.  But that wasn’t digital.  Is this an artifact of that model, or is there a genuine technological bottleneck here?
