You're hooked to Firenet, not the APRS-IS.  That's why you're seeing
them.  They're very useful, which is why they're on Firenet.

You can:

*) Figure out how to block certain types of stations in your client
   (bud-list/friend's list sort of thing).

*) Switch to a client that has display filters in the menus.

*) Add a filter program between the client and Firenet.

*) Switch to a Firenet filtered port (Port 14580).

*) Switch to APRS-IS instead of Firenet.  Filtered or non-filtered
   port at your discretion.
