Hitting those "click here to remove yourself" links are the worst thing that you could do. Yes they are "supposed" to have them on there, but they really don't have to. 90% of spam mail that has that link in there email is not to really take you off their mailing list, but to confirm that your email address is a valid one. People that reply to them are just letting the spammers know that they indeed have a working email address, and spread it around to even more spammers.
