Don't reply to spam, even to ask to be removed. All you're doing is validating your address and signing up for 5 more lists. It's a geometric progression. Instead, report the spammer and relay to their ISP host. It's the best way to combat spam, short of actually being able to savagely beat the spammer in question.

And I agree about the spamming... for some reason, I am asking to be removed from 3 to 10 lists on any given day, yet I don't freely post my Yahoo e-mail address anywhere.
