$tevie,
Those are entirely different tasks and likely unrelated to what I'm talking about in this thread.
Here, we're talking web stores and such, where things are automated. Even general Internet email mailings lists didn't require days upon days of waiting for an unsubscribe request to kick into gear. We're talking as far back as the '80s.
Back then (and now) subscribing and unsubscribing to an internet email mailing list was easy. Send email to server with subscribe command. You're on the list. Or, after sending the subscribe request, you receive email confirming the request. Reply to that email and you're on the list. To unsubscribe, send email to list with unsubscribe command. Done.
