so they provide tools to indentity resellers. the folk their software enables are still *reselling* MY identity. my point is that it is MY identity. there are tools, such as 1password, which enable me to control MY identity and yet have the effect of single sign-on. and i believe it is important that mom and pop retain control of their identities. randy
