How to un-subscribe Bluelight.com?

To cut down on spam, I recently decided to cancel the Web services I no longer used. But I ran into a unique/annoying problem with Bluelight.com: they say my e-mail request will not be accepted and that I have to send a letter via the Post Office. No one in their Customer Care Team can explain why email was good enough to subscribe their ISP service (which I did not use because of out-going email problem) but is unacceptable to cancel it. Has anybody successfully cut the tie with Bluelight without having to comply with this burdensome "company policy" and making a trip to the crowded Post Office (preferably by registered mail just to make sure it gets there)? Any special phone # to call? ben

Just ignore and delete all spam mail when you get it, and don't worry about it. You'll never get them to stop. And if you go around chasing them down, you are just wasting your time. Just pretend it's another redundant flyer you just got in the mailbox. Remember that craze that was around a few years back with the sticker on your mailbox that said NO JUNK MAIL. Did it help? Nope! Maybe some of these guys will figure out one day that bothering people repeatedly just drives us away from there products and services. Somehow I got signed up with a web company called Arcamax. I get an email from them every single day, sometimes 2. I never read them. I can't even remember a website called Arcamax, or how I got signed up with them, and I don't care either. What I did after switching service providers, was get a hotmail account. You can just look at all the titles and who they are and delete them with a checkmark without even opening it. I love html style mail. Really. Don't fret over it, it's not worth your time.

What you can also do, as long as your using Outlook Express, is click on message tab at the toolbar and click on BLOCK SENDER and then you'll never see another e-mail from them again as long as you keep the block on them.

Are you using Blulight as your ISP?? Have you un-installed it thru Add/Remove Programs??
Make sure you do a check of Start/Find "files and folders", as I believe a lot of their info. is also in "Spinway" foilders...

Thanks to all. I signed up for but did not use Bluelight ISP because they would not let me use my own outgoing email setup. What annoys me most is their ploy to make it hard to cancel subscription and refuse to remove my name, to keep it from being used for spam.
