Market research, such as understanding the reasons for consumer choices, can indeed be helpful. However attempting to study the reasons that potential "consumers" of DKIM do or not deploy it requires fundamentally different methodology, and produces fundamentally different information, than the implementation report. Simply put, one looks for a few kinds of 'what' and the other looks for a few kinds of 'why'. One obtains objective data. The other subjective. In addition in this particular case, they the target subjects are in explicitly non-overlapping populations. One has deployed DKIM. The other has not. d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net _______________________________________________ NOTE WELL: This list operates according to http://mipassoc.org/dkim/ietf-list-rules.html
