I was referring to the OpenID Foundation, not to TDF. And I was referring to
the traffic data being available to all the OpenID members not to all TDF
members. In any case TDF does not represent me since i'm not a member and i
have not elected it's members :) I'm just a free user ;)

Yes, i'm aware that any search is logged, especially if i'm logged in to my
Gmail account on any tab (which i avoid doing).
But i was referring to the browser itself. I have to believe that the
browser is not logging and sending what i type in my work's webmail or on my
website's PMs or any other information typed on the main browser window. If
i begin to doubt that, then i will enter into severe paranoia :)

Of course having a single OpenID for all TDF sites would be a great
improvement. But it would still be yet another set of login/password to
memorize... And as i said having TDF as the primary organism gives me more
confidence than any of the existing OpenID members. But i was referring to
the concern of using a TDF OpenID on other sites and having that traffic
information shared with to all OpenID corporate members.

Cheers,
