When unsubscribing from our newsletters and minimails, please allow up to two weeks for your preference to take effect. Please note that you may continue to receive our emails within this two week period.

Wait, what? Two frikkin’ weeks to process an electronic request to update an automated process? Does this perhaps involve the Gerbil Express and pneumatic tube data transfer system? Are you baking clay tablets for data storage? This should take two microseconds!

This always irks me too! It just seems like a way to cover their behinds while they take a last chance to send out promotional emails. Stupid and sad.
