Re: IAB policy on anti-spam mechanisms?

From: Vernon Schryver <vjs(_at_)calcite(_dot_)rhyolite(_dot_)com>

I don't want to insult anyone, but subscribers treat spam filters like
the other black boxes they deal with.  They don't care how a filter
works if it has less than 10%-15% false negatives and less than 1%
false positives.

In other words there is consensus among users that not getting spam
matters more than issues like internet transparency.

What happens if IETF consensus and user consensus are in opposition?
