Again: What's the good in OpenID for me?

[Paul Sheldrake]

Hi Márcio,

I think the problem you're describing is that you already have these 
accounts made and in turn they all have their own unique OpenID.   From 
what I can understand there isn't a way to 'merge' or set an existing 
openID to another one(If there is my bad, I'm not super knowledgeable 
about OpenID).   

If you started from a blank slate and signed up for Google's OpenID and 
then used that to signup for all the other accounts then you'd be set 
and this statement would be true "OpenID eliminates the need for 
multiple usernames across different websites, simplifying your online 
experience."   Then you could just use your Google OpenID for everything...

Unfortunately, I think a lot of people are in the same position that you 
are, myself included.

Cheers,
Paul
