Yes...I do use the unsubscribe link.....but it doesn't seem to make much difference.
I also ask people that I forward e-mails to, to remove my name and e-mail address if they are going to forward my post on to someone else(though I don't forward many e-mails these days).......this is another way to reduce spam...but many people don't do it or know how to do it.

My spam has gone down, yesterday I only had 21 spam e-mails and they were all where they should be...in the junk mail file.
I know that an odd one will still sometimes land, but I can cope with that.
