I think I mentioned before about how I indulged in a little bit of internet stalking of someone who facebook'd me. As part of that effort, I signed up a fake account on Classmates.com. More the fool me.

They've sent a bunch of spam to the mail account that I used to sign up with them, so I decided to take the 5 seconds to unsubscribe. When I clicked the link to do so, I saw this:

Please allow up to 10 days for changes to your subscriptions to take effect.

Really guys? Ten days? What, when I click that Update button, does it kick off an automated process which sends an email to a monk who has to illuminate the first word of a missive on parchment that's sent by courier to the guy who hand-updates the flat text file where all the Classmates.com email addresses are sent? Honestly.
