Sven,
While I understand the concern that the material you presented is not
directly applicable to the list, it is really important to all of us in
both the developed and the "developing" countries. It helps us understand
the pressures that make innovation difficult. Different pressures and
strictures are applied in all countries, and we must find ways of coping
with, and beating them.

Those of us who accept the rules which limit the use of advanced tools only
to others doom ourselves to mediocracy. This list allows those who do not
accept economic or political strictures to use the new tools, even if we
must create them ourselves from offal.

While we must limit the material at the edge of nuts and bolds issues, we
should not exclude it, as it is a major reason that a lot of members follow
this list.

Very interesting stuff you presented. Thank you.

Ted
