Hi and thank you for your email.

If you want to unsubscribe from this email list, please feel free to do it
from here:
http://lists.wordpress.org/mailman/listinfo/theme-reviewers

Also, just for your information, the theme reviewers list is mailing list
for WordPress themes review process and is not the part of "the company".

Thank you for kind words.

All the best,
Stanko
