You're missing part of the point. Even responding to this bum is a BIG MISTAKE. By sending to the mail list, they didn't reach this guy and maybe saved themselves some grief, but caused the other subscribers a  major nuisance!!!

I can't understand why so many people sent "remove." Wrong thing to do, but if had been right, all it would have taken is ONE message to cover the list. How can people see so many "removes" and add more??????
