Hmmm...
>... I find it very easy to understand
things when talking about books. An author creates a book. A publisher
introduces the book to the world in a presentable format. A Bookstore
make the book available to the public. Using Bill's suggestion:
email books
author author
originator publisher
operator bookstore
I noted your earlier use of 'publisher' and it bothered me quite a bit.
However I am warming to the model you describe.
1. It is an extremely well-established model.
2. It pertains to salient responsibilities in an information transfer sequence.
(Given that multiple operators can be in a sequence, I'd suggest 'distributor'
rather than 'bookstore'.)
It scares me quite a bit to have my email operator be vested with apparent
responsibility for the content of my email, but, alas, I guess that really is
what the anti-abuse work is about.
What do other folks think?
