so they provide tools to indentity resellers.  the folk their software
enables are still *reselling* MY identity.

my point is that it is MY identity.  there are tools, such as 1password,
which enable me to control MY identity and yet have the effect of single
sign-on.

and i believe it is important that mom and pop retain control of their
identities.
