I am a bit pissed of (at myself). I filed a provisional patent in '95 for a socially modeled p2p system. "Gertrude" was the 'salon', and "circles" a canonical life-model of 'home', 'heart', and 'hand' (personal/relatives, elective affinities, work, and 'zero' for the world at large. What they still don't have is the mapping of the affinity groups (above) to zero-knowledge cyclical cryptographic controls. (That's when sense say name came about ..)

No kidding!? Don't make me so cynical. :)

True story. Why cynical?

I just hate to be caught gullible. The lack of inflection online makes it so difficult sometimes.

BTW, This is MK! My wife (gq) logged in on my computer. :/

Maybe it was a subconscious parry! gq eats her lunch (and Hubskis) in my office. She's not one for logging out. :)

Much better. I almost didn't catch that.
