Redau--You're way too kind. Weby and Awkuhn have been the most consistently insightful synthesizers of the EMBASSY technology over the years. Their posts should be studied carefully. I see my role as being a sort of obnoxious and hysterical Steve Ballmer type who shouts out to sleepy WAVOIDS:
"Let us not forget that the HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, HOLY GRAIL!!!!! Technology called EMBASSY was delivered into the arms of Steven Sprague on Mount Sinai back in 98'. Sprague checked it out and saw that EMBASSY was very Good, very, very Good!!!!"" He then showed the EMBASSY TRUST TABLETS to us Wavoids, telling us that sometime in the next 40 years these EMBASSY TRUST TABLETS would lead Wavoids to the Promised Land, called Trusted Web Services!"
As you can see, my real strength is that I have little pride in the rhetorical methods I use to try to explicate what I believe WAVE is really about. I'm trying to cut through the noise, and point out the OBVIOUS!!! And as BTK recently reminded the board, I do tend to repeat myself ad nauseum, for the obvious reason that these boards have a collective memory of about 18 hours. If that.
The bottom line, is that this investment is first and foremost NOT about some interesting niche technology. This company is about REVOLUTION! It is about turning the INTERNET INSIDE OUT.
The Trusted Computing Group did not make WAVE chair of the Trust Infrastructure Committee because of WAVE's trusted Signature software.
