Hello,
You are on a public forum called "debian security". Please see the
bottom of this email for removal instructions. You was not added
without your permission as you had to reply to the email message, and
fyi it's not considered Spam in this case as the removal instructions
are included in each message. Had you taken the time to view this
you could have easily understood what you needed to do.
I and probably other on this list do not like to see vulgarity that
you are posting and I might add in violation of obscenity laws.
