	Unfortunately, REMOVE has the exact opposite effect as you might think.
 Since you've now proven that egcs@cygnus.com is a responding e-mail address,
it will probably be moved up to a higher level of marketing.  I had a friend
who replied to one of those, and soon afterward was receiving 20+ junk mails a
day.

	The best strategy is to ignore as far as I can tell.

	Actually, another listserv I use will bounce e-mail that doesn't come
from a validated e-mail address.  This is probably the preferred method.  It's
a slight pain for people like me who have multiple e-mail accounts and forward
it around, but only a minor inconvenience for what you save in the long run.
