I ran a report looking for HABEAS_SWE matches and got 7245 to date.  Am I
really going to report all of them?  No, not on your life.  I've sent in two;
I've done my duty.

The Habeas mark is actually a scam on everyone:  Habeas customers don't really
have any protection for their mail; spammers don't need to care about the mark
because why get sued over something so stupid; administrators think that
somehow this poetry in the headers is magical; and I don't give a rat's ass
if it has a Habeas mark -- I still don't want to buy anything that comes in my
inbox.

To those trying to come up with a way to have an "anti-forgery" Habeas
process, you're missing the point.  Habeas is a straw man, *designed* to 
be forged, *designed* to be a target.  If it couldn't be forged or copied,
there'd be no basis for Habeas lawyers to start making money.  The fact that
spammers fell for it shows how smart they are, but we already knew that.  I'm
surprised the spammers don't yell "entrapment, your honour!"

Set HABEAS-SWE to zero, report a few that you notice or slip through via other
means.  Otherwise, sit back and laugh.
