If someone wants to unsubscribe, that's probably because they don't want to be your customer any more anyway. Unsubscribing for a now-irrelevant-to-them e-mail list may be a problem for these ex -customers, but it isn't your

If you're already subscribing to an e-mail list, how the fuck is replying to an e-mail a "weird ritualistic dance"?!?

No, only the first is correct. The second is, still, an ugly kludge.

The old extended-ASCII line drawing characters are still there in Unicode.

So this is basically just what we used to do in IBM Extended ASCII like thirty-five (forty?) years ago, only slightly expanded because Unicode has more characters than Codepage... Uh, 472? 185? I forget. But anyway, wow: So much time, so li

Could just as well be read as the position of the goalpost gets more precisely specified for each question. The original "performance" was quite ambiguous; this is just a final specification of what was meant by the word.
