To be clear- you do *NOT* need an account to unsubscribe, you need an
account to be able to manage your subscriptions and to change global
settings for your subscriptions.

As mentioned many times already, you can unsubscribe, without an
account, by following the link in each and every email that is sent by
the list server in the List-Unsubscribe header, as hundreds have already
done.  Further, an email can be sent to
pgsql-general-unsubscribe@postgresql.org to request unsubscription
without having an account.

And, lastly, if you wish to have any further discussion regarding the
mailing lists, please contact me directly, I believe we've gone over
this quite enough already on this list and it's not really what this
list is for.

Thanks!
