Forty or 50 people unsubscribed themselves over the last two days, and I took off another 160 or so who hadn’t opened a Bailiwick News email in a long time, dropping the list from about 350 on January 19 to under 130 today.
My admin-side removals might remove some people whose “opens” are masked from the SubStack system, but they can always sign up again if they want to.
If you try to unsubscribe yourself and have technical difficulty, you can send me an email and I can unsubscribe you from the admin side.
But if you send the request to unsubscribe at the bottom of a STFU email, I probably won’t see it, because I’m deleting those as soon as I realize what they are, which means I won’t see your request.
One or two more whittling posts — next one in progress and planned for Sunday publishing — and we should be down to 100 or fewer people and good to go.
