26: unsubscribe from the email promos that the site automatically signed you up to even though you didn't check the Subscribe to newsletter box, which requires you to log into the site and find and uncheck all the boxes in the "contact settings".

    Unsubscribe is for real suckers only. When someone clicks that I always imagine some goon elbowing the guy next to him and saying something like, "look Keith we got another" unsubscriber" over here!" With a big goofy grin on his face.

    If the email is from a legitimate business, they must have an unsubscribe button and it has to work. They get a little time before they are required to process the request, 10 days in the US, but I've usually seen it take effect immediately.

    Don't click the unsubscribe button in an actual spam email.

    Not sure what you mean about legitimate businesses. I don't really trust any of them anymore. Those unsubscribe pages are still full of traps and they often don't keep you off new mailings that they can say you didn't explicitly unsubscribe from because this is a new newsletter that they thought you might be interested in. If I didn't opt-in, it's spam, and I'd like to think that maybe me labeling it as such might contribute to filters picking it up for someone else too.
