Dave, you're preaching to the choir.  As I indicated in my previous post, I agree with everything you've said vis-a-vis information security.  (BTW, here in some of the counties I search, the asset has taken almost 300 years to build.)

My point in citing the free market was to clarify my position on the cut-throat tactics that Michaela cited when she started this thread.  Although somewhat related, they are completely separate issues.

I am also constrained to point out that our raw materials are also our time, talent and ingenuity.  Your mobile office concept is a golden example of that.  That has been our main advantage over the overseas information predators.

Thanks for your reply, Dave, I enjoy reading your posts.

Regards,
Scott
