Would someone stop the viruses, please!

I'm getting really tired of having viruses sent to me from this list.
Put a virus scanner on it, will you?

Actually, the viruses are less a pain then all the AV products spewing
their marketing garbage back to the list each time some spoofed virus
makes the list. It's a 10-1 increase in bandwidth with each spoofed
virus/trojan sent. So many folks are hitting my procmail filters merely
due to their AV products inability to properly handle the point. Folks
need to turn these off.

Thanks,
