Well, it seems like something has been posted about the web of trust. I suppose I could contribute, but I am not feeling particularly coherent right now. There are a few potential areas of concern I have about the web of trust, but I need to think them over a bit more.

I'm just thinking that there may be some fundamental flaws in doing anything else with a web of trust besides modelling personal relationships. It seems that if you add things like granting capabilities or other such extras, a small group is able to swing things their way (Masters can grant Master status on anyone at whim) and more errors can occur.

I don't really have any proofs to back this up, but it's just a feeling I have...

Otherwise, it's Saturday. Been cleaning and playing on the computer. Really humid outside, but cloudy and gray.
