Use the tollbridge until something better comes along.

I know, I know. I'm just so sick of not being able to offer a solution
for something that could and should be so easy.

You and I could donate a central keyserver and give an account to every
doctor in the country. If that could be established it would just be a
matter of getting the EHRs to comply, which would of course be in their
best interest.

Instead we have the pseudo open-source vs the tollbridge commercialists,
none of it is easy, no-one is messaging and the government doesn't have
a clue.

What should we do about this?

Peter.
