This does, interestingly enough, raise the issue of being able to authenticate postings. Is there any technology currently available which would allow digital signing of a post in an environment like this? How cool would that be? I can already invision how it would work (and I'm sure it's pretty much like how XML Signatures work, although I haven't had a chance to read the spec yet).

Back on topic - I was most astounded to see Kristopher posting here. Astounded and excited, though! I greatly look forward to seeing what the Novell + Linux combo will be able to produce. I agree with Xanadu - hats off to him.

Peace,

· John
