haha, that is funny Fullmoon!
Recently, two of my biggest ideas have independently ended up in other group's proposals and standards (neither group appears aware of my ideas). One was Microsoft's End-to-End Trust, announced a few weeks ago at the last RSA conference; and the other the recently announced Trusted Computing Group's IF-MAP standard. Although I've proposed very similar ideas, in this column and other online forums, only participating readers are aware of the early existence of my ideas (as compared to the newer initiatives).
the key phrase here is "neither group appears aware of my ideas"...
Just what we need, another weekend warrior getting into the discussions and "muddying up" the waters and delaying stuff. Great...
