The overwhelming impression that I'm getting from folks NOT on these mailing
lists is that they "love the idea of OpenID but it's too hard".

We're not going to win by adding features at this point. We win only if it's
easy, simple and adds value.

I'm not afraid of Facebook either. I'm afraid of the OpenID community not
coming around to this reality soon enough to make this technology as
accessible as it needs to be.
