Arrington says it so that I don't have to:

"But it’s not clear that any of them are in a hurry to become a 'relying party' (allowing users with third party OpenIDs to log in to their sites)... Everyone, of course, wants to be an ID issuer, since they get to 'own' the user."

Is 'own' the genteel way to spell p0wn?

If it makes my life easier, they can all own me.

Wait, that came out wrong.
