I was wondering how the whole “10 day” thing started, because I’ve seen it elsewhere in unsubscribing from newsletters and similar communications. Maybe it was something that washed over from hard-copy newsletters/ promotions – that is, “give us at least 10 days to get your mailed-in unsubscription notice and update our subscriber lists.” That doesn’t seem too unreasonable.

But to ask for 10 days with a digital email list? That’s just nonsense.

I wonder if there are any laws in place (in Canada or the US) that require them to move faster.
