[David Letterman style top 10]

10. We harvested your email off the web

 9. We bought a CD full of randomly generated
    email addresses

 8. We got your email from a mailing list archive

 7. We bought a CD full of existing email addresses

 6. A source close to you has tipped us off that you
    might be interested in buying crocodile food from
    our store in North Dakota

 5. You recently visited www.unrelated.com

 4. We have the right to free speech, which includes the
    right to violate private property, such as your mail
    box or the open relay at that Korean university

 3. By visiting www.yahoo.com or emailing to
    nobodyyouveheardof@hotmail.com we have the
    right to fill your mailbox

 2. You filled in your email address at the
    "spam-me-please.com" website

 1. You sent an email with the subject "REMOVE" in
    reaction to our latest spam, thus confirming that
    your email address works.

Moral of the story: NEVER ask spammers to "be removed"
from their list. A "removal request" is pretty much
equivalent to a confirmation that your address is real,
works and is read by a real person.

And not only that ... it confirms that the real box is
read by somebody gullible enough to believe spammers!
If that isn't an encouragement to continue spamming,
I wouldn't know what is.

cheers,

Rik
