This note is directed to everyone who is replying to the spam we all
received recently.  

Please stop hitting reply and putting "remove" in the note.  


The original note (or spam) was sent to the PICLIST - not you as
individuals.  replying to this note just clutters up PICLIST with unneeded
(and unheeded) notes.  

Secondly, if you reply directly to the sender, chances are you'll be put on
a mailing list and get additional spams directly.  (Right now, all they have
is the PICLIST address - do you want them to have your E-Mail address as well?)

Like physical junk mail, there's virtually nothing you can do to stop it.
So ignore it and let's talk about PICs.
