Now add a circle of say 50 miles around each. Now if people in those areas could meet a DD and join the web of trust, what percentage of people would be able to join the web of trust to take a poll/vote?

I suppose that would have to be a limitation for now, before we reach world domination and everyone is a DD x-) (Can vi and emacs be DD's?) cheers, Kev -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal | debian.home.pipeline.com | | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keysever: pgp.mit.edu | my NPO: cfsg.org |
