I don't think you appreciate the problem.  I actually have had the exact 
same experiences, which I tried to describe in my last email.  The issue
is that folks will often assume the existence of a certain login, or click
on the only link they find on a page.  This means if your email account
happens to be the own shown for Webmaster, you'll receive emailed resumes,
complaints, sales requests on a regular basis.  Once the appropriate party
gets back to them, the original mailer won't waste room in your mail-box
again.

The free world will NOT collapse if bounce is not included, so I won't try
to convince you that it will.  I guess I'm still not sure I understand why
the free world will collapse if bounce WILL be included, especially when
it has such strong disciples.
