Hello-

I'm having a bit of a problem unsubscribing from the Wrong Planet mailing list (latest mailing promotes the "Autism Job Club"). Every time I receive one of these mailings, I unsubscribe and receive confirmation of the unsubscription; every time I continue to receive them. (Actually, since I never "subscribed", I shouldn't have to unsubscribe, but it sounds nicer than saying that I am being spammed by WP.)

Look, I get it; people like me--people with Kanner's--aren't welcome here. That doesn't mean it is OK to harass us.

How do I get off the mailing list?

Jim

Hello-

copies of those messages were sent to you back in January 2010; no response was ever received.

How do I get off the mailing list? I've clicked the unsubscribe link and received confirmation to the last 8 emails, but the mails continue. How do I get off the mailing list?

Are you 100% you clicked unsubscribe? If so, I will have to investigate why it's doing that.

Hello-

Yes, I am "100% I clicked unsubscribe", at least on the following dates: 12/14/12, 1/2/13, 2/27/13, 3/31/13, 7/10/13, 10/31/13, 12/8/14, and 5/11/15. On 12/8/14, I also sent a reply to the email, asking that I be removed; no reply was received. There are more saved messages (and unsubscribing) on the other computer, but I do not have them saved on this computer.

As for the individuals who emailed me, I've not "attacked" anyone or anything. I'm merely trying to get unsubscribed from a mailing list I was added to without my knowledge or consent.

Jim

I'm sorry this happened. I will make sure you stay off the list.

I just received another one. Same email address. I once again unsubscribed, and received confirmation telling me I have "been successfully unsubscribed from this list!"

Alex, after five years of continuing to receive your emails, despite repeated attempts to get off your mailing list and your explicit statement quoted above that I would "stay off the list", I continue to receive the mailings.

Again I ask, how do I get off the mailing list?
