I share your discomfort. However, my concern with the approach of simply
refusing to answer questions on the grounds you state is twofold: first, it
excludes any participation by stakeholders other than anti-spam developers, and
there are other stakeholders. Second, it preserves the status quo, which is
clearly broken. By which I do not mean that you all are not doing good work:
what I mean is that because you are so effective at minimizing spam, there is
no incentive to actually clean up many of the messes you are working around at
the moment.
From my perspective, quite a bit of useful information has already been shared
as a result of this discussion, and it would be nice if that information were
collected somewhere. I think that there's more work to be done. It may be
bothersome to folks who don't feel that these questions need to be answered,
but I don't think it's realistic to think that if you just protest loudly
enough, they will stop getting asked, or that the practice of header redaction
will not become more widespread.
