My problem occurred a number of months ago (yr+). At that time their unsub
page did not work properly. I tried using it three times and failed to get
off their list. Thus the drastic action. (I even gave them fair warning by
email to their complaint page). It is quite possible that the NYS AG office
had something to do with making the unsub page work like it should.

As for v1agra (etc), I created a bunch of filters that dump them into the
trash ­ I don't even see them, except in passing, anymore.
