It is much worse than merely being not scalable. It doesn't work at all, for anyone. Absent diligent and continuing training, human attention-related behavior decays rapidly, to a steady state that is, at best, highly erratic. Expecting /anyone/ to be attentive in the way described above is not realistic. Ever. For anyone. No matter their skill level. > Is manually checking email headers a very good use of their time? Right. This highlights that even if people could be expected to perform the task properly and always, it would be more expensive than it is worth. d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net
