I agree, the worst part of the Aries project is the extreme egos associated with it - but i do really like the ideals.

Another example of over reach: Trust over IP [1]

Again congratulations of the launch, I am not advocating Aries but I am very interested. Especially the intersection of actual users (what you are doing) / pie-in-the-sky ideals

I wish you both the best :)
