This is a joke, all the morons are responding saying please don't email me. If everyone left it things would be alot easier.

Stupid Argus!

What a bunch of amateurs!

A spammers heaven, here have a load of email addresses, they've even had the good nature to relay all bounce messages.

People who reply to those mails asking to removed are numpties!!

 

[Grendel]

Email "unsubscribe" to adrian.varma@theargus.co.uk

 

[maffew]

got about 50-60 emails!

 

[Virgo's Haircut]

I got a load of these as well. My personal favourite is the one that says the person is out of the office until sometime in 2010.

 

[Everest]

I've had 45 this morning.

 

[Franks Wild Years]

98 this morning. GGGGRRRRRRRRRRR..........

 

[bhafc4eva]

Seems to have died down now!

 

[Sonic]

I must have had about 50 of these. Idiots.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Haven't had one for about 15 minutes. Have they stopped!?

 

[strings]

I've got 45 in the last 30 mins!

But at least I know the names/emails and phone nummbers for half of sussex.

Isn't that kind of info supposed to be protected by the Data Protection Act?
