Thanks Barney these are great responses. The one use I see really is not for creating an actual network but for creating a means by which to share data in a distributed way for largely financial institutions at this point in history at least and it takes adoption.

Financial apps would make more sense as blockchain model is quite secure at least for now! I highly doubt that Facebook and Twitter are running toward a situation where they lose their corporate agendas. I miss the open web. Can we have it back please?

I don't know how long you've been in web development but there once was a 5K contest for HTML which cracks me up now. I also believe that our developer tools have confused a lot of people. We would benefit for free, consistent EDU for content creators who offer webdev courses.

You can feel free to resent me for that if you want I'll give you full permission to do so for leaving the project as lead. I bear that burden anyway. No way is it pleasant or a happy ending to a time of optimism and growth instead of the dark despair and agony now.

I understand that and it was a common critique of the project that people used to advance their names. But I don't see that as much as hard-working people who volunteered. My stance was not always very popular and the entire painful and ugly and a hard hard time for me and others

That was specific to the IE issues in the Microsoft task force. But we had evolved a very fine group of people working directly with corporations such as Adobe and other big players we were really working hard at that point. I left and I feel I should have been more responsible.

The reason I left is I felt there was a conflict of interest as Microsoft gave me a contract to promote new standards implementations and issues after they working on IE again. But as a contractor and blogger with a big mouth and known for that I could have done it ethically.

Hindsight is 20/20 and I could have also worked to find and choose aggressive replacements for leadership. I have tremendous love and respect for both Kimberly and Aaron and all who participated. But, when I read the last post from wasp "our work here is done" my heart broke.
