Thanks for letting me input.  I will stay on topic and factual.  I am not
trying to hurt SPF.  What I want is for us to be *brutally* realistic and try
to think of ways to get SPF adopted in large ISPs.

I have a suggestion.  I claim no ownership of this and it may have been
mentioned before.

How about we add a new option to "all" mechanism, which instead of "?" or
"-", then ISP can declare a percentage, which is the probability that reach
that point in the rule is a forgery???

Your wish is our command.  Just use '~' - it says that the connection
is "probably" a forgery.  It is called "softfail" in the spec.
