equally, and it's *really* important to *not* point out their faults.
Oh yeah? - like - forget the fact that SPF et al all suffer from
100 to 1000 *times* more false positives than the current leading anti
spam and anti-forgery techniques - lets just be *dishonest* instead?
Good idea.  Really trustworthy & ethical.  Where do I download your
code to run on my server again? :-)

You hurt yourself when you admit the shortcomings in your own products
(or when you deliberately choose not to collect false-positive
statistics that make you look bad)

You hurt hundreds of thousands of innocent victims (loosing their
legit emails) when you cover up your problems.  Yeah - sure - it's not
your fault that people using your SPF weapon don't know how to aim it
properly: but you can at least let them know there's other weapons out
there that work 1000 times better.
