Go Away

I sent out an email to a bunch of realtors about an open house this weekend. In the footer, instead of putting, "Click here to unsubscribe" or something like that, I put "You are in my list of realtor contacts. If you prefer to not receive any additional emails from me, just reply with the words 'Go Away' in the subject line."

For some reason I found that funny. But I found it even more funny when the removal requests started coming back. I got one that said "'Go Away' is so harsh... how about 'Please Remove'", another that said "Please Remove (I couldn't bring myself to say GO AWAY!)", and a couple that said "Go away please". But most of them seemed to revel in the nastiness of saying "Go Away!"

Here's a screenshot:
