Fun Anti-Spamming Technique

I came up with (although I'm sure other people may have thought of this) an
interesting anti-spamming technique. I kept getting letters from one company
via AOL that kept sending me get-rich quick letters. They said in the body of
their letter if you ever want to be removed from the list just reply with the
subject being "remove". After 6 times asking to be removed with no success, I
noticed that they gave their 1-800 FAX number so that you could suscribe to
their services. I found by Faxing increasingly large amounts of letters
saying "Stop sending me junk mail" in large friendly letters they finally
stopped. My goal was to send them about 100 letters a shot, but they stopped
spamming too quick. Pity...
