Some Tips

Links to public posts are always better than 1:1 messages. @singpolyma tweets come right next.
If you find a solution, from me or elsewhere, blog it. Someone else may benefit.
Sign messages, public or private, with your PGP key. If you really want something to be private, encrypt it with the recepient's public key.
Facebook is for friends. It is also something I am moving away from. Don't be surprised if I take a long time to reply or remove you there. If you send me SPAM I'll remove you quicker.

singpolyma posted a comment on Perception and reality in the land of OpenID
You seem to be pointing at these examples of FUD and leaving them with little rebuttle. Are you expecting that readers of your blog know OpenID, and know that these analysis you have listed are patently untrue?
Different implementations? Untrue: there is but one standard and any of the libraries will work with any of the OP/RP implementations out there.
Things done behind closed doors? There may be a lot of that in supposedly “open” communities, but I don’t think OpenID is one of them. There’s whatever happens at the foundation, but the OpenID Foundation is a legal freckle, not a core component, of the OpenID process.
Google has launched their own identity service, which seems odd, but they have *also* launched OpenID support.
Whenever people ask me why I support the (in their opinion losing) OpenID technology, I tell them that OpenID *has already won*, from my point of view, because it *works* it’s *easy to implement* and over 80% (probably more) of the internet has one.
