    Perhaps you need help with your penis. Ever think they are trying to help you?

    Just click on the 'unsubscribe link' in every single one of those emails and it'll solve all of your problems.

    sometimes.
    often, it'll simply tell the spammers "hey, we've got an active one! send everything you've got!"

    So I shouldn't enter in my email address into that nifty box in all those "Get Your Free _____" messages either? Damnit...I was really looking forward to my free iPod.

    thats like telling someone... whatever you do, don't push the red button.
    It will do more harm than good.. actually, it won't do any good

    Do not do this, just delete them.

    Sometimes when you receive emails like this it is because of the sites you are viewing.

    Also, don't even view the email if you can avoid it.

    In an HTML email, I could put an image URL with an ID parameter to confirm an active email address.
