It depends, George, on what you've signed yourself up for.  If you're unsure of what you've been sent to, don't sign up to it.  Once you realise it's not list business, really you should close it.  By putting your name and date of birth, since the subscription was made for the list email address, you've resubscribed the email used by the list.

I'll try and take it off. Again :)
