This is not the place for this but again, you do not seem to grasp the technology completely. I do not think you grasp the idea of "personal directory" which we discuss. You have your own interpretation of it and are confusing it with what we (Scott, Paul, Toy et al) talk about here.

In your system, you will still need to store (catalog) the information pointers for all your dispersed data. You call this a "personal directory". Fine. It's not what we're talking about.

Question: WHY NOT JUST STORE THE INFORMATION IN THE CATALOG INSTEAD of the ADDRESSES of where that DATA RESIDES?

So instead of managing information you want me to manage addresses or links to my information. And you think this is a better system?

You want my phone number - check IP addressX
You want my home address - check IP AddressY

Is that what you are talking about?

Because how do you guarantee that information is there?
What happens when the system that information resides on goes down?
How do you secure that information once you share that IP Address with anyone?
How will you allocate IP addresses for EVERY BIT of INFORMATION I may "own" or claim?

In your system, you are adding a layer of complexity to the internet that will in the end, complicate it rather than simplify.
