I personally find these very off-putting and somehow do not want to  
respond because I feel like big brother is watching.

My ISP uses Spam Guard and it is very effective.

Even more effective is Intego's firewall. My spam dropped from 200  
messages a day to less than 6 or so. SpamGuard marks them [spam] and  
they are diverted to my junk folder. That folder shows me a number of  
unread messages so I know how many there are. Apparently the Firewall  
stops people from knowing I'm here.
