<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#000000><FONT face=Arial size=2>I notice that a goodly percentage of posted emails to </FONT><A href="mailto:general@openid.net" target=_blank><FONT face=Arial size=2>general@openid.net</FONT></A><FONT face=Arial size=2> are not distributed by the openid.net pipermailer to my particular registered mailbox. I don't know if this same phenomenon occurs for others. </FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>A review of the list archive suggests topics addressing XRI and trusted resolution are those that are least likely to be posted on to my mailbox. Whether this is also true for others, I don't know.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>I do know I am now embarassed: given I have not followed up to folks who have responded to questions I've posed about XRI. Im sorry : I simply never saw certain responses and other XRI topics, till right now.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ive no idea why this is occuring. It could be the mailer, it could be the internet, it could be the web, or it could be the corporate spam blocker. That it is consistently targeting XRI is just weird. XRI and trusted resolution (with optional SAML components) is surely the most interesting component of OpenID2! OpenID2 + SAML assertions in XRDs + XRI authority resolution + RP discovery are a VERY interesting hybrid - well capable of taking on the well-entrenched SAML2 POST + signed-metadata model, in my view.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>This all starts to sound a bit like a web2.61 startup model, for the likes of ClaimID and ma.gnolia - applying microIDs and openIDs to listing archive and email distribution! Prove that you are getting the stream in a timely fashion, as are others, in an era that acknowledges that military dis-information campaigns are rife in mainstream media. Can't imagine any military would be "specially targeting" the discussion of "XRI", tho - unless the acronym happens to mean something else in another context!</FONT></DIV>
