Looks like I needed to be a bit clearer, as my sarcasm clearly went over
some heads!  Also this line is being quoted out of context - at the same
time I pointed out two people very close to you who have a pretty good idea
about X.500.

X.500 does take quite a bit of effort to get to grips with.  However, a lot
of people have done so, and there are plenty of implementations.
