Hey there - this doesn't sound good (and definitely not our intention). We ported over some contacts here and there from different marketing migrations, but always made sure to hide out any unsubs or things like that. I just looked in our DB for the email address in your HN profile and I'm not seeing it anywhere, so I'm assuming it's a different email address.

Ironically, could you email me the email address to patrick[at]priceintelligently[dot]com and I'll investigate. If it slipped in or you ended up actually opting in, definitely will take it out. If it's a larger issue, definitely will solve it. Obviously, apologies either way.

It was probably my school email (which still works). Either way, the emails stopped in 2016. So no worries, it’s not worth looking into, but I sincerely appreciate your responding. Good luck with the business.

(Porting contacts between lists seems dangerous btw. IANAL but pretty sure subscribing to one list does not count as opting-in to another.)

Yea - found you actually and can share meta details privately if you liked. Fortunately wasn't the DB port.

On that front we automatically just don't touch any of the unsubs for the new system, so was worried that was messed up. Doesn't look like it though. Not a lawyer either, but from my understanding it's the same list even if you change marketing automation/email products. GDPR is making this fun, too. :)
