Hi folks, The need for caution is great when a company moves away from dockside into the deep sea. It is full of sharks who make their living precisely from the "salmon-run" as the rushes of companies to float happens every Spring..... :-) A mandatory tale to research is that of a nice fellow and near genius in his own field, who started a very strange free-world org called ARSGRATIA - a lovely thing. THEY ATE HIM. http://philip.greenspun.com One of the things that Newbies in the international world of Big Money never learn, is that the Sharks ONLY make their money when they take over control of the company through their sucker bait. In Big Business it is not like the real world where the nice folk massively do outnumber the baddies, in Big Biz it is precisely the reverse. ( Said the old, and out-of-it ex-servant of the powerful........... and fell back into a Doze.. :-) ) -- Cheers, John http://counter.li.org GO HERE IF YOU SUPPORT LINUX! Fablor is now Webhosting??
