Helpfulbacteria,that is an interesting theory on a backfire effect
and how some may want that.
In the end I agree that Haines opinions don't matter. This was much more of an at the moment thing.
This was a day in the sun so to speak for SKS and Wave Systems that got a great deal of focus from stockholders.
SKS did great. He presented himself well and the concept well. Given the short amount of time I was very impressed.
I suppose the Haines off the cuff remarks that he would never want to use a single I.D. while discussing the poll was a bit of rain on the parade if only because it seemed to frame things in a particular light along with the poll itself which was really put in an odd and quite frankly leading way.
"Should all Internet users be "issued" a single sign-on ID, giving them one sign-on and one password for all Internet access?"
Yes, it would make everything easier No, it could be dangerous
This is where I said to myself cmon man you are framing this as potentially dangerous? Get real and how did they come up with that? The way the poll was stated it was skewed toward obtaining a "No" answer.
Not a big deal in the end and probably worth a chuckle at some point.
