At the part where you can select all kinds of newsletters, I unchecked all of them and checked unsubscribe from all newsletters. So did I just screw myself over? I didn't think about it till I already clicked Submit.

Yeah I was thinking after I clicked submit, "Wait, wasn't this all about signing up for the newsletter to find out when we can download it? Damnit!"
