Pud, as I said here (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3520013) 80 days ago, the way you keep putting out quality products is great. It's funny that your post on getting users (http://pud.com/post/5239917032/users) isn't even a year old (although you don't seem to be using a lot of those methods for this project).
Do your project ideas (big and small) just come to you or do you have a process?
And any thoughts on doing a small post on a day/week in the life of Pud? Like how much time you spend on projects (planning, coding, designing), and whatever else you do like jamming. You clearly know at least a little about time management and/or avoiding procrastination.
I've always assumed those emails are sent because if you forward a newsletter to somebody else, your personal 'Unsubscribe' link will still be on the bottom, therefore the person you forwarded it to could click the link and unsubscribe you from the newsletter without you knowing about it.
But with the unsubscribe confirmation, you'll know right away and can resubscribe if needed.
If you think that's bad, try removing the www in the address. It just hits a GoDaddy parked page.
Also, take a look at this site: http://hadhwanaag.com. It's the most popular news website in Somaliland. I'm pretty sure someone can make a pretty penny just by setting up a nice themeforest-based theme for many of the country's websites.
The hard part will be convincing them their website looks atrocious.
