Sender-ID Back From The Dead

NW writes "Microsoft's Sender-ID standard has been left for the dead since the rejection earlier this fall by the IETF. According to a Reuters story, it has been revised and will be resubmitted to the IETF. Along the way, Microsoft managed to pick up AOL's endorsement of Sender-ID. My humble analysis appears here."

    mods mods mods... mod my comment up +5 as well. (since it has just as much support as the parent).

    microsoft will hire an assassin to kill linus torvalds as well as his pet tux. then M$'s goal will be to rid the world of any human being who uses open source software. then they will launch FUD about how they should become the president of the united states. after linux is dead, and the GPL is out of existence, MS will make a new GPL that says all money made from software will go to microsoft because they own the world.

    Splendid rebuttal. What is a whoop is how you've suckered other pedants into the trap. As I write this, 4 out of 5 respondents who felt the need to comment on your amusing reply have missed the point. Currently, only xigxag (167441) got it, and came up with an appropriate reply.

    Well done, fatphil and xigxag.

    Special mention to Des Herriott (6508) who, although he missed the point as well, made an excellent comment on the inappropriate use of the word "loose" in place of "lose". Pity it wasn't better aimed.
