[OpenID] Supporting OpenID

[Paul Madsen]

Peter, please 'opine' further how you think my email was

a) part of a campaign
b) dubious

I simply explained to Will the reality of the relationship between 
Google and the OpenID provider built on its app engine.

I am active in Liberty, but not in Sun. Their strategies are their own.

Regards

paul

I was VERY depressed at an rsa conference session by folks from sun, for example. Couched in entirely valid technical analysis were a series of corporate non-endorsement messages (in my view). I'm wizened enough in silicon valley politics to know to contrast the frontroom from the backroom signals.
