Hi Hans, Interesting discussion point. I can't say I've ever seen, nor even considered, a situation where Name + GeoLat + GeoLon = Identity. I have thought of adding geolocation to TiddlyCRM, naturally, as it is a common feature in other, big-name CRMs, but I wouldn't conceive of it becoming part of the "primary key" for an individual. We've been debating about primary keys lately within the TiddlyCRM team, with the possibility of using a UUID instead of Surname + Firstname, but we've settled for now on the latter. We may still change to UUIDs in the future though.
