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.
Oh come on Wayne!
Please allow me to scream for a second. - BULLSHIT!
The journalist could of simply started the TRUTH
AOL and Microsoft have said they're looking at DomainKeys but the
providers are currently supported existing protocols SPF and SENDER-ID
which check an email's identity through its internet protocol address,
and
can be used alongside DomainKeys.
Now is that so hard to tell the TRUTH and still get the promotion you are
looking for.
No, I am sorry. I've been around HIGH TECHNOLOGY for a long time and this
is
plain old baloney - out of this world and in my view, a SELLOUT of your own
pride.
If this was my SPEC, well, it simply would not allow it. Now, if having
AOL as a partner and/or joint venture is deemed important, then go for it,
but DON"T SELL OUT SPF like this. I can almost guarantee is this sort of
baloney continues you will lost total control of SPF.
hmmm, but then again, I was always scratching my head on how you came up
with a different specification? I don't know the inside story here but let
me tell you, how it all happen was extremely odd!
