Some replies were helpful. A few people
mailed the Guardian on my behalf
telling them of the mix-up. It sort of reafirms
my faith in humanity.
Lots of sympathy and lots of people in the same
position (although
not as publicly as I was).
The nice replies.......

Wow, man...
you reallly hate the fiver. It's the facetious
reporting style, isn't it?
**
I understand you may still be down in the
dumps after the crushing series
defeat the Kiwis dished out to your countries rugby
league team or maybe
your a Man United fan in which case would explain
your display of anger but
in future I recomend you just calm down a bit.
**
I think they've got a major problem with their email
distribution system. I
have been trying for ages to unsuscribe so I do
sympathise.
**
Isn't cyberspace wonderful! No telling where
your Email may end up.
I wonder if the.boss got your message.
**
I don't send you any money as far as I am aware, but I will make sure I stop anyway.
**
I like your direct approach Mr Derrick. I Don't
know why you are writing
to me though.
**
I thought I was the only one having problems. I
hav tried 6 times to get
them to stop.
**
It did give me a good laugh though!
**
Lee, I've subscribed you to some Hockey news instead. Hope this helps.
**
Hmm. For some reason, I have received your
rather polite note. But I know
what you mean, so no offence. You tell 'em.
**
There's nothing like a good point well made.
**
Are you related to Inspector Derrick?
[low quality german tv show]
**
I have to say though that you message makes more
sense than the crap
sent out by the Fiver.
**
I am certain that we did not send you the email
directly. If you
want me to help you to work out who does send it
to you then please
forward me a copy, headers intact.
**
Congratulations, you have just told 1000's of people
you don't even know to
"just fuck off".
**
All at Boro TV are very shocked at your language
especially as we have f***
all to do with the Guardian..

**
hello lee... you're quite an angry person, aren't you!
**
I know how you feel as I've tried writing to the
Guardian and they still sent me their fiver, (if
only they were real
ones!!). I remain a dazed and confused Uni student
**
Good lad!!!
**
I HAVE TRIED TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THE FIVER,
SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE.
**
I am having exactly the same problem as you Lee
I can't unsubscribe!
**
No idea what you're on about but good luck if you
are trying to stop
reams of crap arriving in your mail box every day.
**
ROFL: Looks like they've added your message to the
list of stuff to
send out instead :)
**
Have you got rid of the fiver yet. I have tried
many times and the only
reaction I have got is your message - forwarded
to me!!!
**
Best of luck unsubscribing. If you manage it, let
me know how you did it
- I haven't had much luck either.
**
I like your wit....
**
Well I don't want it either!
**
Sorry mate but i think you've got the wrong address. Send me a fiver anytime!
**
This is getting weirder all the time. I myself have
been trying to get rid
of the Fiver for several months now (unsuccessfully,
of course), and this
afternoon I found your e-mail in my inbox, sent
to me by The Boss. Should we
consider suing those fools?
**
Lee, somehow I've received a copy of your e-mail
to the Fiver. I've been
trying to get the sods to stop sending me the Fiver
for over a month,
nothing I've done seems to work. I hope your approach
is more successful!
**
I also get the Fiver, and I also tried to
unsubscribe when I changed e-mail addresses.
It hasn't worked yet, and I've tried a few times.
I am getting pretty pissed off too, because
I am currently getting two Fivers. I don't know
how to unsubscribe successfully, but
I am going to e-mail them now and give them an
earfull. Maybe you should do the same.
**
It ain't me. Keep your obsenities to yerself.
By the way, I've tried to cancel it too,
but it doesn't seem to stop.
**
Thanks for your very charming message but I'm afraid
I can't help you with
the unsubscribe bit!! Perhaps if you find out how
to , you could let me know
**
I sympathise & if you find out how to unsubscribe let me know
**
Thanks for the entertainment value of this though- esp. on a Monday morning.
**
I don't want the Fiver either. Anyway, who are you?
**
Not quite sure how you got to me, but I see I'm
not the only one who
can't get off this bloody list.... I wouldn't mind,
but I have no
interest in football and one of my employees subscribed
to the list, and
it defaults to me....
If you manage to get off the list, tell me how please!
**
Don't know how I got it Lee, but I like your style.
**
Im trying to get rid of this poxy service my self
!!!
if you have any joy please let me know
**
Dear Lee.
thanks for the message, it went a long way to making
my day. I suppose
it would mean slightly more to me, however, if
I had half a clue as to who you are.
Thanks anyway,
**
If it's any consolation I've been trying for a while
to get them to stop
sending The Fiver to me, with no success what-so-ever.
**
I received your message below and can sympathise
as I do in fact
subscribe to the Fiver even though it is always
two days out of date and a load of
all crap.
**
Dear Lee - this got sent to me - don't know why - best wishes
**
Errr...why did I get this (good message though - should do the trick...)
**
apologies for the outburst. apparently it was the
fiver's fault that your note
got sent to all their subscribers.
