Migrating away from our legacy mailing list has been in the works for some time. As part of that process, we’ve migrated over the entire archive of old messages as well as the user accounts in order to make this process as seamless as possible for all subscribers.
The new platform does not allow for the easy deletion of accounts that were part of the migration process though so you have a couple of options:
You may login to http://discourse.chef.io to disable all notifications for your account. This will prevent any emails from being sent to you. If that’s not quite enough, you may also change the email in your account profile to something that is gibberish.
I’m sorry to hear that you dislike the new mailing list.
Feel free to contact me directly with any additional feedback you may have.
Thanks,
Nathen Harvey
