I am disappointed you would think I was aiming at such a straw man.
The UK has laws against repeatedly sending mail to people who have
indicated a wish to no longer receive it, and I think it's pretty
clear cancelling your account means you no longer want to hear from
Launchpad. There may be some loophole but that would be a sad
position for Canonical to be in.
Anyhow, we agree it's important; if anyone actually complains we can
fix it for their case.
