[Eddy Nigg (StartCom Ltd.)]

Hey Martin,

I'm not against OpenID, but interested in it. Also I got involved only
recently. The importance of what I'm up to is not a preference of a design:

By knowingly and intentionally encouraging the spread [1]  of software
which may or most likely will result in the invasion of privacy,
encourage spam in various forms and may result in damage to third
parties - may in various countries be a criminal offense!

This has nothing to do with design preferences! I suggest, that every
company involved consult with their legal department about my statement
above! Maybe I'm wrong, but should I have contributed in this way
positively, than I'm glad (donations welcome ;-)). Except that, everyone
shall make his/her own decisions...
