I don't recall exactly what we have said on mandatory headers and
that, but at least some people here seems to be resistent to put
in new headers. But then there should be reason to look at existing
headers and see if all are necessary.
And Organization is my opinion such a header. Ten years ago, it
was natural to put in your employer there, as you would typically
post from work or from the university if you were a student. But
today this header is mainly used for witty lines like "What? Me
organized?" as most people are posting from commercial IPSs and
they have no reason to be connected with the ISP as part of its
organization.
So, shouldn't usage of this header be discouraged?
