Thank you for entering.
[rest of SPAM removed]
to be removed reply to this message with "remove' in the subject line
and John answered:
The LAST thing you ever do with SPAM is follow the "remove" instructions!!!!
How do you think they verify *good* email addresses for sending you
more of this junk? It's the spammer's most commonly used _sucker_
ploy.
The only real way to fight back is learn how to track it to the
source ISP and complain enough that the account is terminated along
with any other web sites and mail systems they are using.
BTW, since this one was also sent to the list, your reply went right
back to the list.

...so now Henrik Dahl (full of remorse) writes:
Sorry. I have very little experience of SPAM-mail. I didn't even
realize this was one; there's been a couple of "contests" in the list
last week. I thought I accidentally must have entered something. I
have no idea what a source ISP is or how to track one down.
Again, sorry if I offended the list.
Henrik
