First, sorry you want to unsubscribe. Whether you’re a WatchGuard customer or not, my goal is for the blog to share security stories that any IT person could gain practical value from. That said, I’m more than happy to help you figure out how to unsubscribe.
The subscription to this blog is actually through Feedburner. I don’t have a list of users directly, rather, feedburner manages sending the RSS emails to people. To be honest, I’m not quite sure what the FeedBurner unsubscribe process is, but I’ll go ahead and get my web guys to look into it, and get back to you. If we can unsubscribe you directly, we will, otherwise I’ll get back to you with what you need to do on feedburner.
