My opinion about unsubscribes
Unsubscribes used to, in the words of Peter Griffin, really "grind my gears". Now I don't care. Of course I want people to like me, but I've been around long enough to know that it's not a realistic goal. I think back to an email that I saw from Ryan Lee about...

I'll keep this short and sweet, since tomorrow's the big day and you could be wrapping up some last minute shopping or baking cookies for Santa … When choosing who I joint venture with, I have three simple criteria that I follow: 1) Their offer must be relevant for...
