    Rich,

    If passport were "optional" as you suggest, I wouldn't be using it =
at all. As it is I'm forced to accept that I have to use passport to =
access any of the online features my MSDN subscription entitles me to. =
Taxes are optional depending on your pov, move to somewhere else if you =
don't like them. That's the logic you are using here.

         If taxes were optional and people still chose to pay them, yes =
it would be.  Given that taxes are not optional and Passport is, the =
comparison is stupid.  Congratulations on looking stupid.
