First, please don't put my name on any product - my ego doesn't need it. I'd much rather work behind the scenes. And secondly I don't need you to tell me that I need to explore this. I already am - it's on my schedule not anyone elses. Everything else in your post is self-serving jibberish. By the way, you can't have a sliced and diced Personal Directory where my information is fragmented across the entire Internet! Can you IMAGINE the synchronization traffic with a few 100,000 people using this technology! It would bring the internet to its knees no matter how much bandwidth you through at it. Remember, the more bandwidth you add, the more uses I can find for it so in essence, there's never enough bandwidth! You can't do it Fred. That type of systematic fragmentation would cause way too many problems or at least overhead. See, you don't really understand the technology but you make wild claims about it's uses. You need SOME centralization not for power or control [that fits your theories] but for CONVENIENCE! I will develop a service to "host" your copy of Personal Directory - I don't own it, YOU DO. I merely rent diskspace to you and offer you accessibility! You keep the "master" copy on your local system (so you can maintain your ownership) and create a "copy" on the hosted service. Now this copy can be accessed by anyone you create a relationship with. That's a much more workable model IMO. So instead of have many diverse points of "me" scattered about the entire Internet fabric, I have a few centrally located "copies" of my information that others (people, companies, gov'ts etc) will connect to (or for me to connect from). A much easier architecture I would say. But again, you need to classify central administration as a "power and control" mechanism. One perspective that limits your vision and your abilities. You are much too obsessed with power and control Fred - much too obsessed. As for your "nobody above anybody" rhetoric - you been reading Marx and Lenin again? But not to worry - you're welcome to feed your ego on my posts. Regards, Peter J Strifas
