There's some serious irony throughout this thread. Out of one side of our mouths we despise "oligopolies" and service providers who get too big to block or, conversely, too big to care about their own spam footprint. And out of the other side of our mouths we are begging for security and privacy regulations that essentially make it impossible for anyone *other than* a massive oligopoly to thrive. The cost of adhering to the latest regulation-of-the-day is prohibitive to the small operator's (sender or receiver) success. This is, of course, by design. But it's really interesting to observe how confusing the debate is when both sides lack anything resembling first principles. Everything we do prevents the marketplace of ideas from actually functioning and finding a solution. Then we feign outrage and harm and confusion about why we don't have a viable solution to these relatively innocuous problems. We have a large group of well-intended people who think they are spending 100% of their focus-time solving this problem. When, in fact, we have a large group of people spending half their time fixing the problem and half their time unintentionally (and unknowingly) making it worse.
