DevX is really destroying

DevX is really destroying their community. First they buy ProjectCool, and then they kill A List Apart and the Web Standards Project. Now they've started spamming me because I signed up for the projectcool sightings by email long ago, which never alluded to anything showing up in my in box besides a daily sighting (not to mention they haven't updated daily sightings in weeks). That wouldn't be too bad, but the unsubscribe page reads "Unsubscribes may take up to one week to process." That's ridiculous and unacceptable, my grandma can build a simple web application to remove names from a database based on form submits. DevX is becoming a perfect example of how to annoy and alienate your users and best customers.
