With my spokeperson hat on I prefer the terms 'Detect Wanted' and

word 'fail' with a journalist when talking about my work or
company products.
I like these terms, they are far more clear and don't carry any
negative conitations.
should also mention vigilante actions such as teergrubbing and hackback, I
I've not heard these terms before
"teergrubbing"
"hackback"
Maybe part of this should create a "glossary" web page, because some
people like myself might not be "au courant" and since you are already
talking about journalists, will find it useful if some terms and
concepts are predefined (or in the course of being defined).
I've found that alot of the arguments being carried on in other
threads revolve around semantics and meaning and really start to grow
tiring after so many posts. I can't believe that it takes people so
long to actually come to some concensis on what SPAM is and what to
call / classify the assorted abuses of SMTP, RFC 2822, MIME, and the
like, let alone even start coming up with ideas, data gathering,
experiments, and maybe even some possible solutions.
I think the choice of words and their semantics are important, but I
also think that they shouldn't be the focus of overlong continued
discussions, which is why I'd think some sort of open community
glossary might be a better place to define and isolate such long term
discussions of this nature.
