Whenever I unsubscribe from a mailing list, I see that they say something like 'The change will take effect in 10 days/30 days/etc'. I would assume unsubscribing is just removing my email from some database. What is the idea behind making me wait so many days?

This is also offtopic here (being entirely web-based) and I don't really know where it would be on-topic. I don't think it would fit on Server Fault or Webapps...hmm. – Shinrai – 2011-08-02T15:04:01.687
3It's not suitable (in it's current form) for anywhere really. – ChrisF – 2011-08-02T15:13:32.060
