Thank you Caitlin, that actually addresses the problem, and I think that will be a significant improvement. It would also be nice if I didn’t have to opt out of something I don’t think I ever opted into. Cheers, Peter

Hi Peter,
I can appreciate that the text on the page seems vague in terms of defining to what list the opt-out will apply. We're going to edit the header on the page to specifically say "Fundraising email". I hope that helps clarify for other donors on multiple Wikimedia lists.
Thanks, Caitlin

The problem of that page's wording being rather vague and unclear about what, exactly, you'd unsubscribe from is a genuine issue that needs fixin' (that is, while what the intent is would be clear to technically savvy people as illustrated by the responses on this very thread, it clearly needs to be wordsmithed into making more sense).
That said, I'm pretty sure absolutely nobody sane believes Jimmy personally sits down and writes bits of web interface used by fundraising, so the dig at his expense is not only gratuitous, but detracts from any point you were trying to make.
