I never subscribed to the newsletter and just go to the quiltingboard website whenever I have a bit of time to spend here. Not a problem for me. I browse all sections/areas that interest me and quite frankly have no desire to have another email coming to me everyday. Once logged in I can see what I've read and not read and just continue on that way.
There are always problems with computer things and don't understand why you would want to quit the board because of something that is possibly just a mix up and nothing personally directed at you.
