Okay. Then what kind of marker would indicate that a message is
something you want to receive? Assume for a minute that if they lie,
you get to have them drawn and quartered--so there's sufficient oomph
to keep it accurate.
If had Habeas had decided to arrange things so that most of the people
I want to receive mail from could use the Habeas mark, but no spammers
lived to do it twice, then Habeas's mark would have been the ticket.
Okay, I was thinking of a content type marker. But basically you're
saying that you'd be willing to receive email if you trusted a third
party to enforce some set level of accountability on the sender? And
that the key to trust is confirmed opt-in? I'm not clear on where
you were going with Habeas there.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
