Recommending ~all was the consensus at the Inbox event,
where everybody said that forwarding was too big a problem
to be ignored, and cautious senders shouldn't go -all
because of the FPs.
Great... let's just not implement it then. Let's hang on to the
stinking, rotting corpse of the "kinder gentler" internet and leave the
new one in the hands of the spammers, the 419 scammers, the viruses and
the worms.
In recent weeks I have concluded that we're (meaning, essentially those
who understand how email works) never going to allowed to fix this
problem. Why? Because the lusers and the pin head govt officials and the
pointy headed MBA dweebs with just enough clue to "get" what a mailing
list is used for do *NOT* have the WILL (intestinal fortitude) to see
that their precious internet is dead.
Forwarding sucks!
