[OpenID] OpenID, P2P and decentralization

[Johannes Ernst]

It seems that reasonable people -- which you all are -- are  
disagreeing on this one.

So as a matter of principle, I think whatever technology is thrown at  
this problem should have a built-in gradient of supporting both  
opinions, and everything in between (say, my friends can see it but  
not the general public). It may be that the slider=0 is what all  
users will do, or slider=100% is what all users do, or -- what is  
more likely -- different users choose different comfort zones. Which  
is why the slider idea (that others have brought up before on similar  
questions) is a good mental model methinks if put into technology  
properly.
