I read all the above stuff on their site and left it alone as a
spamdicator. Since then I have noticed that outside of this list
it does not seem to be used much at all. It is not known by the
media or else they do not take it seriously. So....

True, and 90% of that has been markable as spam with the proviso that
I have no idea how many messages to this list use it. This list bypasses,
for now, the spamassassin tests in case I ever turn on awl again.

I guess I am a moron, Bob. I go with what I see. I do not see any evidence
outside of their website that they exist, win lawsuits, deter spammers, and
so forth. I have seen about 10 messages with it in the headers, one was to
this list when I made a global search of my mail database, and about 7
were already marked as spam with remarkably high scores. The remaining 2
found their way to legitimate email folders and upon examining them found
they were Habeas marked. That led me to their web site. My first reaction
was, "What a perfect setup for spam organizations!" That still remains
much of my reaction based on personally collected evidence in my possession.
If I see objective evidence that they have won some lawsuits thoroughly
enough that spammers were seriously financially injured by the win, $1e6
or more, then I might start believing them. It'd take something that big
to deter the bastards.
