You literally lost my interest in reading your solution when I realized that 
99.99999999999% of this post is just you railing against people.

People are right, if you can’t get my attention in 50 words, then either your 
solution isn’t a solution but a marketing ploy, or you need someone who 
actually knows how to present things to people in this field.

Im a former DNSbl maintainer - I get excited over new anti spam solutions and 
love to throw resources at new solutions.  

So yeah, this is a non starter.
