Re: where is the blockchain for day-to-day use?

you are not misreading. it was not off putting for me, IMHO. and on this I
am afraid we will have to agree to disagree. I am not being disrespectful
with any one here, I am not attacking anyone and I dont think the use of
grandma to make the point diminishes in anyway the role of all grandmas.
This is hardly the first time I use grandma to illustrate this point,
actually I have a paper "where is the foaf for grandma?" that was presented
in a conference and it was not criticized for using grandma in the name.
so, I am indeed questioning, ignoring actually,  the whole grandma issue.
