SPF Council would like request that SPF Community provide better
indication as to if an appeal to IETF IAB should or should not be made in 
regards to misuse of v=spf1 records by Sender ID experiment. We request 
that members of SPF Community (especially those who have not posted about 
it before) clearly show their opinion on this issue and indicate 
appropriate action (if any) that should be taken.

I support the appeal. My reasoning can be found here:

Your reasoning forcefully explains why "reuse abuse" is technically
and morally wrong (so what else is new with M$).  However, it doesn't explain
how another appeal is going to improve the situation.  Are you arguing that we
should appeal because it is the right thing to do, even if it means losing the
battle?  That kind of argument does appeal to me, I can be a "liberty of death"
kind of guy.  

To complete the argument, explain why we are morally obligated to
continue the appeal process, regardless of the outcome.
