Did you see the Unsubscribe link?

I am fed up of being a member of social networking websites with all the reminders and matching mails they keep sending to my mail Id. So I decided to go and unsubscribe to all these websites but boy, that wasn't an easy task ...

In no website was I able to find the unsubscribe link. So I decided to delete all the information but even that wasn't easy. Some websites didn't allow me to delete my own information. I tried to modify those info by replacing them with junk characters but in vain. The website informed me that the modifed content will be approved only after review. Who will approve the junk characters?

I know I can unsubscribe by calling their customer care number (which will be a US number) but I hate calling any customer care, after some bitter experiences.
