So we've sold out to AOL now, have we?
Part of publicity is having a good contact and hook for reporters
writing stories related to what you are publicizing. If AOL is
happy with being that hook, great.
Right.
And it if wasn't "AOL's SPF", it would be "Meng Weng Wong's SPF".
Both have been used a lot in the past and AOL deserves a lot of credit
for promoting SPF very early on. It is simply too long a phrase for
journalists to say something like "the SPF specification developed by
hundreds of people in an open, volunteer fashion, including the work
of <long list of names>".
This isn't much different that stories saying that "Bill Gates created
MicroSoft" or "Linus Torvalds created Linux", etc.
