Can somebody help me stop the flood of income e-mails from PHP?

I've signed to the newsletter and, during the last two month, made many
attempts to "unsubscribe" - none works and I am getting 100's of e-mails
from you.

Please take me off the mailing list!

It may be so that you can use exceptions as a sort of goto mechanism. 
And from some perspective you may even find some similarities. However, 
exceptions weren't invented for this purpose. (And they aren't 
introduced into PHP for this reason.)

The main difference is that exceptions work with the *instance* of your 
code. (Enable you to fall back to some place in your OO structure.) Goto

can't do that.
