Uhm, I think we are drifting away from the topic here.

I do _not_ feel that you in particular are killing my dream.  I tried 
explain that challenging what I wrote would not really challenge WebID 
but challenge my poor presentation of it.  I do _not_ feel that you are 
challenging me or it here :-)

Yes, I trust the sanity of the design of WebID.  But is not equal to me 
being capable of defending that sanity which I believe in, towards 
clever folks on this mailinglist.  Therefore I attempted to encourage 
taking clever debates about sanity of the protocol at the very 
mailinglist where those architects of it hang out, rather than here.

(Parallel to this little subthread I notice that others apparently 
disagree with me and prefer to discuss inner details of WebID here 
rather than there.  Oh well.)


Great that your interest is in discussing how WebID is usable with 
FreedomBox.  I'd be more than happy to get back on that track :-)

So please try again...!
