Not having anything to do with 3K, but I thought some
of the more experienced of you might know:

What is the netiqettely correct (NC) response to un-solicited
advertisements on the net.  I get TONS of these daily.

For example BuyByNet, Inc at [log in to unmask] sends astrology
listings and wants me to send back "remove" to remove me from their
automatic system.  I don't want to get their spam, I don't want
to have to reply to their automatic process.

How do you discourage companies like this in a gentle yet properly
persuasive fashion?

Thanks for any suggestions

Just sign me:

Joe "Gee I got up on a grumpy mood today" Howell

PS

Not knowing the proper response, I sent the guy 200 remove msgs.
Probably didn't accomplish anything, but I feel better now.

PPS anyone who wants to help me discourage these guys is free to
bring out the flame throwers!  -:)))
