You know, I've wanted to write a long post about elitists ruining my Discovery. Then I've realised, that I would be happy to receive The Very Elitist Red Hessian Army ID. So if I don't want to look two-faced, I shouldn't write posts of any length about elitists ruining my Discovery.
Let's make this short then:
I don't care about Researcher ID, but if there'll be new activity type intoduced for it, it should be open. Or there should be open Independent Researcher ID with limitations on cargospace/something else.
