I somehow got on a the assorted email lists for BioTechniques magazine (likely because I filled out a survey at a tradeshow).
Since the magazine has nothing to offer me, I went to their site to opt out.
And got this message:
Excuse me? 4-6 weeks to opt out of email lists?
That's be a "no." A "hell, no," in fact. It's bad enough that most lists take 24-48 hours for an opt-out to kick in.
One day, then anything I receive from them gets marked spam.

Please allow 4 to 6 weeks to be removed from our lists.
