Default How do I respond to this ridiculous email

So I work as a technical recruiter, its not as glamorous as it sounds. Every few months, I send out a mass e-mail to all candidates I have on file who are not actively looking that basically says, "Hi. I am just touching base. We have a number of jobs that may be of interest to you. Are you currently in the market?" The email is really 4 sentences long max. So I sent out one of these mass emails today and here is the response I recieved from one person:

Unless you are willing to pay me $1,000,000 per hour just to even think of considering the idea of taking such jobs that only robots with 10 multi-processors for multitasking capabilities, 100 Gig of RAM for quick thinking and 1000 Terabyte of Hard Disk space for knowledge and experience in his metal head can do, I'm most definitely not interested. Don't you recruiters do anything at your posh office space that requires you to even use your brain, if you have any, and seriously review the job description and most likely matches before you click the most favorite IT Recruiter "THAT WAS EASY" button on you color coded preprogrammed keyboards to mass mail everyone on your database and have 1,000,000,000 honest job seekers running like stampeding buffalo to interview for the same job in the hopes that 1 and only 1 out of 1,000,000,000 job seekers will get the job and you can sit on your f$%#%g ass, sip [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]oolade, crack jokes all day and collect your commision for a typical day's work of "Oh [censored]! I forgot to press the "THAT WAS EASY"" button for random dialing corporate numbers to annoy the receptionist and other honest and hardworking employees of the company just to siphon out the almighty contact information of a IT hiring manager? Please remove me from your database; I'm sure you have enough brain capacity to do that because just about 99.999999% of recuiters have them. Awww damn! I forgot; A database is like one huge "cloud" to you guys. Anyways, thanks but no thanks! I have better things to do, and please don't forget to have a good weekend; you earned it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I leave it up to you BBV4L to tell me how to respond to this e-mail.

I wouldn't bother, I'm pretty sure he's not interested.

Lol, I'm an IT recruiter as well. I have a "wall of shame" for these types of e-mails.

I don't send out e-mails in mass though.
