It's time for my annual "Spring cleaning". For a variety of reasons (mostly related to spam), each spring I unsubscribe people who haven't opened the newsletter since the begining of the year.

You can read more about what is is and why it's important here: What Is "Spring Cleaning"?. (And yes, clicking that link should count. )

Thanks!
