Wayne,
Numbers don't lie. Add it as news item in the web site:
      "SPF Growing! 27% growth rate since July, 2005."
Short and sweet and ignore what others are saying.

The Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group (MAAWG)[1] and the
Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) are holding a conference this week.
According to the following story, MicroSoft announced a bunch of
results.
* 87% increase in the .com and .net domains since March
* 27% since the July email authentication summit
*  6% increase in all domains world wide since July
Hmmm...
In contrast, Andy Newton is saying that there has been ZERO SPF record
growth since June.
See:

OK, I have just finished another survey of domains for SPF records.
In early July, I found 1112298 SPF records in the .com domains. In mid
November, I found 1407911 SPF records in the .com domains. That is an
increase of 27%. Now, maybe all of that 27% came in the months of July
and Novemeber, but I *REALLLY* doubt it.
It appears to me that Andy's survey is borked and that now we have to
deal with more damaging misinformation from the MAAWG folks.
