Nice marketing tactics

[Carl Parrish]

I don't mind the split so much. I pretty much agree with the reasons 
given and hope that it cuts the chatter from my email box. What I don't 
like is that they did so without warning and then you have to opt *out* 
of the newly created list. To me it would have made more sense to 
require you to opt into the new list and just modirate AZIPA better. but 
all in all I think that's a small complaint.
